being utterly forsaken of all Physitians, by reason of an impostume he had in his breast, and desirous to be rid of it, though it were by death, as one of the forlorne hope, rusht into a battel amongst the thickest throng of his enemies, where he was so rightly wounded acrosse the body, that his impostume brake, and he was cured

this sums it up, dunnit. I quite like FOTL you won't be at all surprised to learn.
Come on, Rick, I'm not a prize.
I'm not a cynic or one of those guys.
Come on, Rick, I'm not a rope,
Now pull your socks up.
Come on, Rick, I'm not a child,
I'm not special or one of a kind.
Come on Rick, I'm not a drunk,
I know my own worth,
I'm an adult!
I'm an adult!
A common purpose,
A common goal.

Gains value as a common goal.
Let's flail together
If we must flail at all.
Deep in the heart of the battle,
Caught in the switch of the flow,
Freedom from notes, she sells freedom from songs,
She sells freedom and arms Eritrea.
I could have made these excuses in my sleep,
As if anyone had doubted them at all,
But if we arm Eritrea then we won't have to pay her
And everyone can go home.
I've got to seek paranoia where I find,
As if anyone had doubted it at all,
But if we arm Eritrea then we won't have to pay her
And everyone can go home.
Yeah
I don't know about anyone else but personally I don't really have any problem being told what to do by people I recognize as being more informed, strategically smarter and more competent than I am, or even by those equally so. Hierarchy is fine with me as long as I have intellectual and moral respect for the people above me: hey there's a lot of clever, committed people in the world and I have no problem being in the lowest rank as long the structure itself seems just and legitimate. I yearn neither to heroically stand on high nor dissolve myself in the mass. I'd like to be an engaged part of a rationally organized, coherent movement, if that means taking some peoples' decisions on faith, if that means being a foot soldier rather than a general, so what? The narcissism of hierarchy or the narcissism of non-hierarchy? Neither.
