The other direction on easy way out

Tonight it's Adorno's Dialectics of Enlightenment; Tuesday morning it was Heidegger's Origin of the Artwork; and in class today we read a short essay by Lukacs on "The Sociology of the Drama" and a segment from Piscator's book, The Political Theater. And I have to finish an article that might be published in an anthology by Friday.
There are lots of ways to do things. I am often inspired by Cat Stevens when he sings about being on the road to Findout. But I just heard the chorus of a song by Elliot Smith that went like this: "It's all about taking the easy way out for you, I suppose."
I wish I could bring myself to taking a taxi more often.
