What can I do about this world today? Shine a light. I’m ready to listen, Lord. To see how very precious a single life is – that it happens at all is a miracle. There were thousands of sperm fighting over the eggs that made us. It’s a miracle anything gets born and survives at all. And if life is a miracle –as life is a miracle – what does that mean? Whatever the hell we make it mean. Nothing more and nothing less. It’s all good. That’s the thing. Fleeting, yes, dying, yes, since the day I was born. The only thing any living being HAS to do is die. And it’s just plain crazy to waste this precious life worrying about that.
It is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows. …Epictetus
