Motivasi

Real equality is immensely difficult to achieve, it needs continual revision and monitoring of distributions. And it does not provide buffers between members, so they are continually colliding or frustrating each other.

Inequality can have a bad downside, but equality, for its part, sure does get in the way of coordination.

Cinta

Perjuangan

I am sure it must be true that people opt out of the mainstream society because they feel that there are going to be no rewards for them, if they stay.
