There is such silence, there is such noise. Such darkness and such light. I have gone far in this life, sometimes I think, and then I look at some others who have truly traveled and wonder why I never went anywhere. It's all about contrast. I read somewhere that to get a true sense of humility, do not crouch down low to the ground and make of yourself a weakling. Instead, stretch up as tall and as mighty as you are able, then place yourself against something huge. That'll show ya.... There is such wonder, there is such boredom. Such joy and such sorrow. And I think it is no contest, to see who has been to the most extreme of anything — for who can measure some of these things? No one will understand what you feel, though all of us have experienced it: those days when it takes infinite effort to drag oneself out of bed, and to face another day.
