The only way out of the system is to choose to live simply.  Gandhi, Clare and Francis, Jesus and Buddha lived voluntarily simple lives.  This is a transfigured life in a culture based on climbing, consumption and competition.  Once I accept or even tolerate climbing, elevating my self, ego, status, power, prestige or possessions, I am part of a never ending game that is impossible to escape.  Jesus came to free me from this existence that will never make me happy.  There is never enough and I never completely “win”.
