That’s Yours Truly, many days.
Energy (and coffee!) LOL
Bc I quit the damned coffee 15 yrs ago, no energy and sheer willpower. =)
Apparently Albert did. :-D!
Hi Russ,
LOL. Hard for me to tell since I know practically nothing about Camus or his life. Many of the quotes posted are simply random ideas which give me pause to think (rather narcissistically) about my own life experiences. I have met / spoken with / read many folks who (more or less) expressed this thought to me. Being moderate in so much of my life, I have found it difficult to relate to people at the “edge” of normal. It is not that I don’t empathize with their pain. It’s more that because these things don’t reach so deeply into me, it’s hard to “grok” another person’s feelings of “difference”. I have never understood suicide, cutting or tattoos. Maybe tattoos is too far on the spectrum… Small ones, okay. But whole body? Nope, I just don’t get it. I kind of get the “my body is a canvas” response, but not really.
Anyway, this reminded me of my nephew who committed suicide a couple of years ago. The quote made me sad. I wish I could have been a better support for him…
As always, thanks for the visit and comment.
Namaste,
Kevin
