“In my father’s last letter he said that the world is run by those willing to take the responsibility for the running of it. If it is life that you feel you are missing I can tell you where to find it. In the law courts, in business, in government. There is nothing occurring in the streets. Nothing but a dumbshow composed of the helpless and the impotent.”
-Cormac McCarthy, Suttree
It all leads to desperation, not because you need it, but because you want it.
You want to feel what you want to feel.
And when everything breaks before you are ready for it then it leads to heartache.
There is a difference between being prepared and ready.
You are not always prepared when the thunder or lightning strikes.
You are not always ready when the rain comes.
The point is it’s always uncertain.
The alternative is to stay sane because it is essential, especially since we live in a noisy and desperate-to-be-seen society.
Living in a quiet place and doing what you always do without the dictation by people is a life of fulfillment.
