ruling: "How to Rule": "Survival, taking care of your basic needs, is based on pragmatism, exertion, and often drudgery. Celebration, on the other hand, is often connected with extravagance and doing something beyond your means." "The notion of ruling your world is that you can live in a dignified and disciplined way, without frivolity, and at the same time enjoy your life. You can combine survival and celebration." "...ruling our lives means committing ourselves to live in this world as ordinary by fully human beings. The image of the warrior in the world is indeed, precisely, this." (see "Warrior", "Universal Monarch" & "Wealth")
