One more thing...

Albert Camus('kamoo') writes,

"If the slave says yes to everything, he consents to the existence of a master and to his own sufferings. Jesus or Lao Tzu taught non-resistance. If the master says yes to everything, he consents to slavery and to the suffering of others, and the result is the tyrant and the glorification of murder. Is it not laughable that we believe in a sacred infrangible law---thou shall not lie, thou shall not kill--in an existence characterized by perpetual lying and perpetual murder?"

Camus is a well known existentialist(one who studies the nature of existence) and wrote a rather sobering book called "The Rebel" Here is a bit about that if one is interested.
