Happens that the lesser a man is insulated from taking responsibility for his life, the more of a man he is.

In general, the more responsibility a man takes, the more he feels alive. Layer that with the uncertainty in depending on oneself and you have this man flying.

In my own experience, I was much more analytical (or I'd say smarter) when I was running my own business, didn't make more money, but life was a lot more meaningful.

Suppose being retired on a Calpers pension doesnt't count. Nevertheless still beats the old institution I know exactly of the castration you speak.
