To paraphrase (with poetic license) a now much-forgotten thinker:

"You have nothing to lose but your chains.  And you have a world to win."

As a youth, I thoroughly despised that thinker. And I attempted to crush his every claim with the weapon of my sharp and witty intellect.   But now I find that my poetically-licensed paraphase from the end of his manifesto - if taken out of its old and discredited political context and applied solely to my current personal context - rings most elegantly true.

Ponder the sound of one hand clapping celebrating the occasion of one link snapping.
