Jacob’s Ladder

© Farrar, Straus and Giroux

‎”These thoughts seemed so resonant, so well constructed in my mind, but when I put them down on paper they sound naïve and half formed, simply childish. But I know what I want to say. A person has died – so, right away, everyone should just forget about that person. I once said that when I am on my deathbed I will tear up all my photographs, my papers, and I’ll ask my children not to talk about me. I’ll forbid them to wear mourning garments.”

‎-Ludmila Ulitskaya, Jacob’s Ladder

‎Why do people write, and how do they put it down on paper or just type it on their laptop and save it?

‎For hundreds of years, the first mass form of media has been writing.

‎It is an ancient or the oldest way of communicating, and still today we use it.

‎To write is something that’s a sacred thing to do.

‎Back when people wrote letters to each other, they thought and wrote as if they paint an Art or constructing a sculpture because it takes time.

‎The point is that when doing something worthwhile, it takes your effort and patience to make something remarkable.
