You Live and You Hopefully Also Keep Living

April 16

You live and you learn.

We say it like it’s a certainty. A fact sealed in fate. Like we shrug our shoulders because we didn’t get what we really wanted, and have instead settled for living and learning.

Listen to yourself. Hear those words come off your tongue. What else could you ever wish for? Are there any two more important desires in that order than continuing to live and getting better at the living process?

We should, at the beginning of each endeavor, cast aside any hope of wealth, fame, or fortune and pray to the goddess of wisdom, asking her to grant us, in her infinite grace, the slightest hope that at the end of our journeys, we would be able to say in truth that we are living and learning.

What else could we hope for?
