all the forces and powers that ceaselessly try to put me down and stifle my self—my true, authentic, individualized self! I’m not just one of your conquests, not a cog or…or screw in your capitalist machine, and I’m not some nameless, disposable…thing…waiting to be fed into and ground beneath the wheels of a…a system — any system.（我想要……尊严，我想要自主，我想要力量。我想要自力更生，也想要自我实现，我想要摆脱那些无时无刻不在试图压制我、窒息我的权势和权力——我想那个真正的、有【本真】的、有【独立个】的、独一无二不可替代的【自我】！我不是你众多战利品中的一个……不是你那台资本机里的一个齿……或一颗螺丝钉，也不是某个无名无姓、可以随时被作为生产消耗、被制的碾压成尘的……东西——无论是在何制下。

“I — humans — can’t be reduced to a part of a whole, or a fraction of a one. I am not a sheaf of grain to be reaped when the season calls for profit, nor am I a seam of ore to be mined when the engine of power demands fuel. I am a whole, I am a one, and I want to be treated as such — I want choice. I want freedom…freedom from fear…freedom, yes, and all its associated responsibilities!（我——任何人——无法被简化成某个整中的一分，或某个所谓的【一】的零。我不是一束待收割的麦穗，只为换取季度盈余的利；我也不是一脉待开采的矿藏，任由权力的引擎需要燃料时便被掘取。我是一个完整的个，我就是一个独立的【一】——而我也渴望被如此对待——我想要选择，我想要自由……摆脱恐惧的自由……自由，没错，以及与之相伴的一切责任与义务！

“I also want love. I want companionship. I want a kindred spirit. I…I want to believe, believe in something…as unwaveringly and faithfully as St. George believed in God and the dragon believed in evil! God may be dead but I miss Him — someone who does not betray, someone who is truly faithful and unfailingly loyal! I want someone who, like Him, loves me fiercely and will love me til death do us part. Someone who will be on my side forever and ever. Someone who calls me home
