What inspires us?
Dearest readers, we have been together through revolutions and all the wonders that have met my eyes... and yet, I have never really told you what it is that inspired me to share these moments with you.
If someone else has already said it best - if you can't top it - steal from them and go out strong.
Will: I don't care if Helen of Troy walks in the room, that's game six!
Sean: Oh, Helen of Troy...
Will: Oh my God, and who are these fuckin' friends of yours they let you get away with that?
Sean: Oh... They had to.
Will: W-w-w-what'd you say to them?
Sean: I just slid my ticket across the table and I said, "Sorry guys, I gotta see about a girl."
Will: I gotta go see about a girl?
Sean: Yeah.
Will: That's what you said? And they let you get away with that?
Sean: Oh yeah. They saw in my eyes that I meant it.
Will: You're kiddin' me.
Sean: No, I'm not kiddin' you, Will. That's why I'm not talkin' right now about some girl I saw at a bar twenty years ago and how I always regretted not
going over and talking to her. I don't regret the 18 years I was married to Nancy. I don't regret the six years I had to give up counseling when she got sick. And I don't regret the last years when she got really sick. And I sure as hell don't regret missin' the damn game. That's regret.
Yesterday I learnt what Nietzsche meant when he spoke of Goethe:
Goethe ... fought the mutual extraneousness of reason, senses, feeling, and will ... Such a spirit who has become free stands amid the cosmos with a joyous and trusting fatalism, in the faith ... that all is redeemed and affirmed in the whole - he does not negate any more. Such a faith ... is the highest of possible faiths.
He does not negate anymore, he does not have regrets.
My dear readers here is my ticket,
i have to go see about a girl.
