...to avoid a fatal misunderstanding [the] crucial dialectical move from epistemological obstacle to ontological impossibility in no way implies that all we can do it reconcile ourselves to this impossibility, i.e., accept reality itself as imperfect. The premise of psychoanalysis is that one can intervene with the symbolic into the Real, because the Real is not external reality-in-itself, but a crack in the symbolic, so one can intervene with an act which re-configures the field and thus transforms its imminent point of impossibility. Traversing the fantasy does not mean accepting the misery of our lives—on the contrary, it means that only after we traverse the fantasies obfuscating this misery can we effectively change it — Slavoj Žižek in Less Than Nothing.
