Roshi, ronin, or sloth?

Submitted for your approval, or disapproval as the case may be, from a comment left by Brainmarket on Little Lulu's latest post:

In my opinion, accepting the futility of the system and our roles in it (whichever side you are on) is the first step toward being a great lawyer. Only then can you see prosecuting or defending as "just work" and attain that state of "zen" objectivity that is essential to success, that is, success in the sense of being happy at work and success in the sense of providing the most effective representation to your client.

What do you think?

While you're at it, check out Brainmarket's blog, Oswald Defense Lawyer, featuring some pretty good posts, which suggest that accepting the futility of the meat-grinder does not mean rolling over and playing dumptruck.
