We all work together to the same end, some with conscious attention, others without knowing it - just as Heraclitus, I think, says that even people asleep are workers in the factory of all that happens in the world.
One person contributes in this way, another in that: and there is room even for the critic who tries to oppose or destroy the production - the world had need of him too. So it remains for you to decide in which category you place yourself. Certainly, He who governs the Whole will make good use of you and welcome you into some part of the joint workforce: but just make sure that your part is not that of the cheap and vulgar line in the comedy, as noted by Chrysippus.
