A world of cruelty and pain

10,000 children killed and maimed in Yemen. Women and girls captive, raped and tortured to death in Pakistan, India, Afghanistan. Millions are starving and brutalized in Burma, Congo, Mozambique, Brazil, Sudan, Somalia, Libya, El Salvador, Haiti. Endless civil wars, assassination, genocide, criminal gangs and drug cartels of incredible cruelty. Poverty, disease, illiteracy, tyranny. No society in ancient history was exempt. "Modern" Western and Asian powers waged brutal wars against primitives and against each other, millions of Russians, Chinese, Germans, Brits, Japs, Jews, Vietnamese, Arabs, Ukrainians, Poles, and Americans killed for abstract ideals and control of oil fields, mineral deposits, cotton, grain, rubber. 10,000 are shot in Chicago every year by gangs fighting for dominance, revenge, savage rage. Public education and policing have failed.

The lesson of history is to bug out. Find your way to a peaceful, prosperous, rational community, loyal only to yourself, no obligation to religion, tribe, or tradition. Escape. Do whatever you have to, pay any price for a fresh start. Work. Study. Save. Spend every hour of every day to find a way to free yourself. Don't tell anyone what you're doing. Don't expect any help. Doors will open if you have something to offer. Go. The only fatal error in life is to despair and do nothing.
