There's just too much good stuff out there, too much that already captures the essence of so many ideas far better written than I could ever do. Case in point:
"Do I know you?
No, I am but a stranger...
...as are we all.
Lonely inside our separate skins, we cannot know each other's pain and must bear our own in solitude.
For my part, I have found that walking soothes it; and that, given luck, sometimes we find one to walk beside us...
...at least for a little way"

Even when I go around saying "There's just too much good stuff out there, too much that already captures the essence of so many ideas far better written than I could ever do." I still end up getting screwed, because someone already said it:
ReplyDelete"There are probably words addressed to our condition exactly, which if we could really hear and understand, would be more salutary than the morning of the spring to our lives, and possibly put a new aspect on the face of things for us. How many a man has dated a new era in his life from the reading of a book!" -- Henry David Thoreau, Walden
