When I was in college, I had a great reverence for the romantic poets of the 19th century, Wordsworth and Coleridge. I wasn't aware that there is a gulf between the thinking class and the working class. The thinking class gets to avoid the heavy lifting of the working class. Bertrand Russell was, of course, a member of the privileged thinking class, as is everyone involved in contemporary western Buddhism. We get to avoid the drudgery and rhapsodize about doing nothing.
