LIVING AND/OR DYING INSIDE THE BOX

WARNING! This post is designed to be annoying!

TIME 4 A METAPHOR

The mass of men - and women - live lives of quiet desperation. I'm not sure about cats, but I suspect it may be different for the. Most cats seem not to be even the slightest bit desperate. Schrodinger's cat may be the exception that proves the rule. (I never understood that phrase, but it seems to fit here.)

A living dog is better than a dead lion. Shall a man go and hang himself because he belongs to the race of pygmies, and not be the biggest pygmy that he can? Let every one mind his own business, and endeavor to be what he was made. Why should we be in such desperate haste to succeed and in such desperate enterprises? If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.


I suspect that depends on how hungry you are.
