The Grandeur Of Life Is The Attempt, Not The Solution. It's About Being As Fearless As One Can And Behaving

The grandeur of life is the attempt, not the solution. It's about being as fearless as one can and behaving as beautifully as one can under completely impossible circumstances. Good is more interesting, more complex, more demanding. Evil is silly. It may be horrible, but it is not a compelling idea. The opposite survival, blossoming, endurance, those things are more compelling intellectually, if not spiritually, which they certainly are also. We are already born. We are going to die. So in between, you have to do something interesting that you respect.

You invented your limp so your mother wouldn't die completely.

You've stopped being a daughter and you've become a mother.
