It is wrong to expect a reward for your struggles. The reward is the act of struggle itself, not what you win.
"Philip David" ""Phil"" "Ochs" was an United States/American protest song/protest singer (or, as he preferred, a topical song/topical singer) and songwriter who was known for his sharp wit, sardonic humor, earnest humanism, political activism, insightful and alliterative lyrics, and distinctive voice. He wrote hundreds of songs in the 1960s and '70s and released eight albums.
Ochs performed at many political events during the Counterculture of the 1960s/1960s counterculture era, including Opposition to the Vietnam War/anti-Vietnam War and African-American Civil Rights Movement (1955–1968)/civil rights rallies, student events, and Labour movement/organized labor events over the course of his career, in addition to many concert appearances at such venues as New York City's The Town Hall/Town Hall and Carnegie Hall. Politically, Ochs described himself as a "left social democrat" who became an "early revolutionary" after the 1968 Democratic National Convention protest activity/protests at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago led to a police riot, which had a profound effect on his state of mind.
After years of prolific writing in the 1960s, Ochs's mental stability declined in the 1970s. He eventually succumbed to a number of problems including bipolar disorder and alcoholism, and took his own life in 1976.

Does defending liberalism leave you friendless and perhaps wondering about your breath?
Even though you can't expect to defeat the absurdity of the world, you must make that attempt. That's morality, that's religion. That's art. That's life.
Step outside the guidelines of the official umpires and make your own rules and your own reality.
I can spare a dime, brother, but in these morally inflationary times, a dime goes a lot farther if it's demanding work rather than adding to the indignity of relief.
The fortunes of the entire world may well ride on the ability of young Americans to face the responsibilities of an old America gone mad.
