I said something similar to that quote in another thread:

"It's just a way to live, and it should be (relatively) joyous for the person... or they need to go back a few steps and try again.
It's NOT supposed to be sacrifice, and you CAN make it a political statement... but it really degrades the experience.
Political... and chosen lifestyle.
So then it becomes: ...kudos... now what are you going to do?
Organize of course."
