Thoughts while Traveling
3.29.2004
Almost anybody can learn to think or believe or know, but not a single human being can be taught to be.
Why?
Because whenever you think or you believe or you know, you are a lot of other people: but the moment you are being, you are nobody but yourself.
To be nobody but yourself - in a world which is doing its best night and day to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight, and never stop fighting.
Does this sound dismal? It isn't. It's the most woderful life on earth.
-e.e. cummings
