Harry,
You’re too young now to be thinking about this sh*t but allow me to sow a seed in that curious mind of yours.
Because you’re curious you’ll be born into the dialetically opposed worlds of, on the one hand, the joy of discovery, and on the other, agitation of the soul. It’s a hunger that often defies any logical manipulation and it’s only through the stories of others that we begin to make sense out of this deck of cards we’ve been dealt.
Don’t dwell on the aphorisms, just watch the movie. Don’t try to define it, just let it sink into your subconscious and leave it there. Someday you’ll get that longing to find closure and pay all the associated prices to find your arrival. When that happens, just remember what it was all about and remember this story.
Your friend…
