Отрывок из книги
Give up. Please. Your life has been an endless struggle. Fighting not just for survival but for various luxuries that you never really enjoyed. This world has become a boiling cauldron where humans are racing towards unknown and unwanted goals. You have always been taught never to give up but consider first, the results of your struggle. What aims are you going to achieve that will possibly be worth this mad rush. The wheel of the world has started spinning very fast recently. You are an insect caught in its trap. Your goals and ambitions are not your own but a part of this wheel. As you work tirelessly for goals so far beyond food and shelter that you are unsure of their need, you speak of progress. Progress towards angina and diabetes. This is not just your destruction but the destruction of this entire planet. That is a big price to pay for this intangible progress which nobody needs. We are burning ourselves out and burning this planet at a very rapid pace. Let there be more time for thought. Work less, do less, think more. Above all, relax. Relaxation is important not just for your soul or your health but even for the survival of this species. Hard work is killing you. You don’t want to work. Hardly anyone wants to work (and for those who do, there are always demented souls, aberrations in nature). You are doing something you don’t want to do, for goals that scare everyone. What are you doing?
You have been taught to keep fighting, to never give up. Fight then and spill the blood of your brothers. Kill everyone who stands in your path because you like being victorious. Victory may belong to people like you but in the end it will be hollow. This is world is run by the so called dynamic people who keep struggling and are never ones to shy away from a fight. To be victorious, you have to be a fighter. If you were to follow the philosophy outlined here, you could never be successful in this world. You would always lose. That is the point of this essay. We want you to lose. Our aim is to glorify laziness, to celebrate tardiness. This is bad for the health of large corporations but good for this living, breathing planet. We have lost our humanity, our spirituality, and now we stand to lose our lives.

The time has come to follow your heart. To slip from the grasp of your masters. This is the time to sleep and relax. Now is the time to shirk work. Be lazy. Be a loser. It is good for your planet and your species. Do not be selfish. Do not throw away a planet for petty personal victories. Do not throw away your life, health and happiness for petty and insignificant desires. This is the path to happiness and survival.
Set aside you fears then and step with me into this last stronghold of God. Look upon this world with a child’s eyes, glowing with wonder. This is the true world, as it was meant to be. See the plants that blow in the breeze, the birds that flit merrily and sing joyously upon their branches. You know not their names, not yet. But you do know that each one of them is special. They were all created for a special purpose and their very existence is the beauty of this world. This world is beautiful because the creatures living here make it beautiful. Or would you be so vain and even naïve as to claim that things created by man are more beautiful.
