but i didn't even say it. hobbes said it, and he's been dead for centuries.

what i was getting at was that the whole point of life is not to be rich, or prestigious, or even happy--the point of life is to survive it. we all fight our little minimum wage war against god, and it's not about dying with the most toys. it's about being able to look back and honestly say that you made a good go of it, and that, if nothing else, should put that final smile on your face.

if you stop to think about it, the futility, and the frustration, and the anger, you might lose sight of the life that's right under your nose.

time is just like any drug. too much can kill you.
