I am in every way opposed to the idea that the purpose of one’s life should be solely to seek equilibrium, and that a life that does not reach such equilibrium is a failure. (One must seek a certain degree of it, of course, but that does not mean that obtaining such a thing ought to become one’s goal.)
What makes this conspiracy of conservative belief even harder to oppose is the almost universal insistence that one should speak from a point of view that is already defined by social (and hence, psychological) stability. Otherwise one is seen to be saying exactly nothing.
