It's kind of a silly problem, though. I think of my own personal projects as "gardening." It isn't stressful.

It IS a cheap, bugmannish way of compensating for the chaos of the outside world.

I can't control the drunks in the parking lot or the myriad other problems which the ruling trash have nursed for generations, nor can I make other people care about these problems, but I can prove to myself that sanity is possible.

You can make your own island in the sky, remote, serene, untouched by the chaos below.

And if you can do that with your rinky-dink linux distro and succeed, who's to say you can't somehow make the leap to effecting reality in the same way?
