Masters of work and play, we can surmise all we wish, but in the end all that will be left is our lack of control. At what point did we wish to become the effect of our causation? If you desire mastery, you will surely experience slavery in your quest. If you desire freedom, how else will it be gained other than through the creation of our own torment? In order for others to exist we must deny ourselves first and allow the universe in through the front door. Welcoming the experience, we never die.
