The crux of modern capitalism

[Gandalf]

I don't think it matters what it means. I think you can concern yourself with these earthly designs or you can just stop trying to change them. This system won't change and that is when you need to turn to the self and ask if you are willing to stick it and endure.

[Master]

As you said Catherine never said this but forget what economic system we live in just do the best you can with what you have in the amount of time you are given to look after yourself and your loved ones.
