A Quiet, Desperate Life?


Sometimes, in the evening, you are glad that another day is over: but you don’t feel the satisfaction of the people who  made the best of their time, who enjoyed each instant as something magnificent and unique. You release your day, you discharge it  as a burden, without thinking that it will never come back.  You   worry about tomorrow, but forget to appreciate today. Thoreau talked about “… a life of quiet desperation” (i.e. dull, lazy resignation).
Is this the way you want to live?
