b'What is legacy? That for which we want to be remembered? Who do we think we are? We are simply here to reproduce. As Socrates said (more accurately the Oracle of Delphi) love is the pursuit of immortality. Whereas some will seek to achieve it by marking the pages of history, most settle for reproduction. Yet we are all being told that both men and women need to chase their careers. This ignores the fact that only 2% of jobs are careers and usually those who rise to the top are disagreeable often to the point of psychopathy and have no concept of empathy to others including their work force or to their own family of they have one. 98% of people are stuck in jobs they hope to tolerate in order to make a living and until they realise there is no career at the end of the rainbow they may have missed out on family. Women are self harming more and have increasing eating disorders at school all because if the pressure society puts them under.'
