Brass tacks and culture.
    #7995538 - 02/08/08 09:52 AM (15 years, 11 months ago)

Here's another little quote from the book I quoted from in the Brass tacks thread. It's for those who wonder why we love/hate culture and why although we bitch about being free we really don't want to pay that price.

"The freedom of the sea lures men. Yet freedom does not come free. It's cost is the loss of security of life on land. When a storm is brewing, the sailor cannot simply park his ship and walk away from it. He cannot hide within stone walls until the whole thing blows over. There is no freedom from nature., the power that binds even the dead together. Sailors are exposed to natures beauty and her ugliness more intensely than most men ashore. I have chosen the sailor's life to escape society's restrictions and I have sacrificed it's protection. I have chosen freedom and I have paid the price."- ADRIFT Seventy-six days lost at sea.
