They're children. Their idealism is a child's view of the world. They want to crawl back in their mother's womb so they won't have to become an adult and face a world which is filled with light and shadow, with complexity and contradiction. They can't be right in this kind of world. It is not good to put a curse on oneself and one's family. And though you may argue that the whole human race is the real family, this is also an illusion — that is, there is a paradox in this. The abstract family only works in the abstract world. The concrete family is the only family that works in the concrete world. The abstract world will not give you a piece of bread when you are starving.

Hey hey hey skinny! How's the rash?
Anyhow I was riding down the road the other day and went by where the Busty Suds Car Wash and Massage Parlor
used to be. Remember? You called me that day all in a panic 'cause you got mugged in the Spotless Rinse cycle and they took your secret tooth.
Anyhow I was reminiscing and had a guffaw at your expense.
Next one's on me, rode dog!
peace out!
