But it is
also the only way we can fail.
We stretch
beyond what we can accomplish, and tear and crack into pieces. This process,
whether it ends in triumph or defeat, is always painful beyond our previous imaginations.
Still, we tell ourselves that this is a necessary pain. Is that really true?
Is the sum of
our lives the height of pain that we reach, the pinnacle that we are able to
achieve before shouting out ‘No more!’? I’d like to believe that there is more,
that human beings are meant to suffer and endure for only so much a portion of
their lives.
I want to
believe that eventually there is peace to be found, if one is lucky. And if not
peace, then at least some form of contentment.
Yes, that must
be a worthy goal for one’s life: simple contentment.
