how many live deeply and experience life?
"I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, … to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world; or if it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion. For most men, it appears to me, are in a strange uncertainty about it, whether it is of the devil or of God.." HDT
Reading this is so profound at this juncture in life. I've come to understand what he's saying completely. His emotion is so incredibly intense here. I do find life to be mean. Life is to find the meaning of the meanness and learn from it.
