Political rhetoric is always relevant

History is a master of hindsight--so there will be hesitation. But still, it must be our conviction to make those difficult choices when on the doorstep of our future. We will only be held accountable for those lives we leave unaffected. Today then, even though difficult--let's dedicate our ambitions to not leaving any.

Life in Details

My story is in real life so it is not particularly exciting. But that is something everyone needs to come to grips with, I think. Life is not climbing Mt. Everest or small town murder or cross country adventure or prince charming. I live stories where protagonists play cards with nothing at stake, where heroes are too shy to get the girl, where villains wake up at four in the afternoon. And that is normal. Time fills each day with work, sleep, food: the necessities, tricking the lot into thinking life exists only on vacation and weekends. But even those mostly prove unworthy. So where will we find our lives then, if not in the details?
