The line, "it's better to burn out than to fade away" was taken from one of the songs of Young's bandmate in the short-lived supergroup The Ducks, Jeff Blackburn. Inspired by electropunk group Devo, the rise of punk and what Young viewed as his own growing irrelevance, the song significantly revitalized Young's career. Combined with its hard rock counterpart " Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black)", it bookends Young's 1979 album Rust Never Sleeps.

This is all done in the name of keeping women down, even though it’s actually working against itself by bringing about more equality between men and women. It teaches women to strive for unattainable physical standards and devalues them when they don’t meet those expectations. The beauty myth is a social control that keeps women from achieving their goals. The standards for physical attractiveness are impossible to meet, so women feel like they need to be beautiful in order to succeed. These oppressive social mores have weakened, but they still influence female behavior and personal expression. The beauty myth is the last remnant of the old ideologies that used to dictate how women should behave.

With the help of dhyāna we find our own methods and systems for making decisions and better understand our behavior. Even if advice and guidance are helpful, in the end we ourselves are the best judge of our own actions. We all want to be free, although many of us are dependent on psychologists, gurus, teachers, drugs, or whatever. The aim is to free yourself of preconceptions and avoid actions that you may later regret and that may create new troubles (duḥkha) for you. Dhyāna in this respect is a quiet, alert consideration, a meditation. No matter what it is or what you feel, before you make an important decision and take action you should give yourself the opportunity to consider the matter with an open mind and a certain degree of objectivity.

One possibility is dhyāna, which in this context means “reflection.”3 Reflection can take many forms.

Bellamy's vision of a harmonious future world inspired the formation of numerous " Nationalist Clubs" dedicated to the propagation of his political ideas.Īfter working as a journalist and writing several unremarkable novels, Bellamy published Looking Backward in 1888.
