ha. no classical philosophy here... in Once upon a Time in Mexico, Enrique Iglesias asks Antonio Banderas why they are doing this if they're not getting paid. Banderas says "A man who wants nothing is invincible," and then steps out from behind cover to blow away all the bad guys.
this struck me as an intellectually indefensible position if the only reason for seeking invincibilty is to make getting what you want easier...
