"Continual success in obtaining those things which a man from time to time desireth, that is to say, continual prospering, is what men call felicity: I mean the felicity in this life. For there is no such thing as perpetual tranquility of mind where we live here; because life itself is but motion. and can never be without desire, nor without fear, no more than without sense." Sense to endure what we cannot change or clarify, for this life is constantly in motion, and although the mind is as well it often struggles to keep pace with the movement of knowledge.
You follow a path that society guides you down, but as we move into autonomy and solidarity in adulthood we find the pathway ends and we are standing on the edge of a cliff with the chance to fly or fall. I've been growing these metaphysical and metaphorical wings all my life, I'm ready to fly.
