| Now, what I would call a really swinging human being
 | 
| Is a person who lives on two levels at once
 | 
| He’s able to live on the level of being his ordinary ego, his everyday
 | 
| personality
 | 
| And play his role in life, and to observe all the rules, and so on
 | 
| That go with that
 | 
| But if he is only on that level
 | 
| If he’s only playing that kind of thing, and thinks that’s all there is
 | 
| It becomes a drag. | 
| He starts being the kind of person who feels that he’s just
 | 
| got to go on surviving
 | 
| It’s terribly important to go on surviving; | 
| to live
 | 
| And he works at that
 | 
| And his children learn the same attitude from him
 | 
| And he says, «Well, I’ve got to survive because I’ve got all these children I
 | 
| have to support,» and so on, and so forth
 | 
| And then they take the same attitude, and they breed up children,
 | 
| and they feel compulsive about supporting them, because they’ve got to go on
 | 
| And so nobody really has any fun
 | 
| It’s just… «Ungh! | 
| Ungh! | 
| Ungh! | 
| Ungh!»
 | 
| You’ve got to make this thing. | 
| You see?
 | 
| And you don’t have to
 | 
| See, whenever I get somebody who comes to me and says, «I really can’t go on.
 | 
| I have to commit suicide,»
 | 
| I say, «Well, that’s entirely your right. | 
| There’s really no reason why you
 | 
| should go on, and if you want to commit suicide, do it.»
 | 
| You can check out
 | 
| Of course, this reduces anxiety; | 
| when they feel free to commit suicide they
 | 
| don’t really have to commit suicide so much
 | 
| (Laughter)
 | 
| You know, you can commit partial suicide
 | 
| (Laughter) |
