Then listen to this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vK-5OS1WAFk
It is perhaps not sad enough–I find it comforting–but there is something of life in it.
I find myself feeling the gap between the meaning of life, and my habits.
Living is a skill, and we are all born, I think–most of us certainly–far from it. We paper over this gap with thought. We think: “I can think the meaning of life. It will be much easier than finding my way to it. Yes, that is the path”. But of course, you cannot think your way there. You must dare your way there. You must embrace what hurts you, and in the hurting, find the healing, and the way.
Here is another nice song, also from John Harford: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBEOjcQstUc
You only know a small fraction of what you think you know, and if I am lucky I know even less.
Happy Easter!!!!
