It's tough to accept that my contribution to the world has less market value than jars of bad air. But apparently, that's the case. It can be discouraging.
I know liberty isn't particularly popular, but sometimes events demonstrate just how unpopular it really is, compared to other things.
But the market will do what the market will do. The marketplace of ideas might just squeeze out some things in favor of others. If so, that's just how it is.
The rewards will follow, in the form of a society rid of government; but it does take a while. Meanwhile, down-payments come in the form of self-esteem. You and many others are offering a priceless gift to humanity, and we rightly feel good about that.
ReplyDeleteI wish that felt more satisfying at the moment.
