He, along with many of us, experience deep degrees of helplessness, of feeling we have no choices -- but that is simply an illusion of the mind -- of looking at the world and saying "these are the choice I want and don't have!!", instead of studying the multitude of choices that are actually in front of your face, but are ignoring.
Wow. I have an overriding feeling to shave my head, don a robe and light some incense...ohhllllmmmmmm
