When I read about people like Atul Gawande, I am inspired and frightened. By the same qualities, at that. To recognize a skilled thinker and doer leaves me feeling as empty as the surface of the sea, but turbulent beneath the lack of substance. Unable to accept myself as I am.
The fact that one person can have such potential frightens me. Do i possibly have the potential to become an outstanding thinker and doer? It may be too late. While I think of all this, TRUE thinkers and doers are already out there weaving their stories.
Yet, the true fear may be that of unsatisfaction. Since a meaningful life may not be a happy life, i am scared to make a choice.
It is clear to me that I will never be able to accept a life where I take only what is offered to me. I may have made a choice already.
It is true, happiness is easy compared to meaning and ambition.
When someone tries to talk during my TV shows:
DID I ASK YOU TO SPEAK?
hahaha when i’m very focused on reading manga.
