\\u201cTo be truly challenging, a voyage, like a life, must rest on a firm foundation of financial unrest. Otherwise, you are doomed to a routine traverse, the kind known to yachtsmen who play with their boats at sea\\u2026 \\u201ccruising\\u201d it is called. Voyaging belongs to seamen, and to the wanderers of the world who cannot, or will not, fit in. If you are contemplating a voyage and you have the means, abandon the venture until your fortunes change. Only then will you know what the sea is all about.

\\u201cI\\u2019ve always wanted to sail to the south seas, but I can\\u2019t afford it.\\u201d What these men can\\u2019t afford is not to go. They are enmeshed in the cancerous discipline of \\u201csecurity.\\u201d And in the worship of security we fling our lives beneath the wheels of routine \\u2013 and before we know it our lives are gone.

That\\u2019s all \\u2013 in the material sense, and we know it. But we are brainwashed by our economic system until we end up in a tomb beneath a pyramid of time payments, mortgages, preposterous gadgetry, playthings that divert our attention for the sheer idiocy of the charade.

The years thunder by. The dreams of youth grow dim where they lie caked in dust on the shelves of patience. Before we know it, the tomb is sealed.

Where, then, lies the answer?

In choice. Which shall it be \\u2013 bankruptcy of purse or bankruptcy of life?\\u201d
