Happy birthday Gaius Iulius Caesar!
Here's one of his alleged quotes for the celebration
It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die, than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience. - Julius Caesar
I like that one a lot, I know that quote has its own meaning, but it can also apply to the Work. In that line, it's easier to surrender and live a life of a 'dead man' (as in G terms) a robot or zombie if you like, than to find the inner strength to rebel against the 'status quo' - or General Law - and endure concussions suffering with patience to live a real life of truth and meaning.
