I don’t want to ‘fit in’. I want to stand out. I want the world to know I was here. That I made a difference.

Poor Anonymous. He didn’t stand out enough for anyone to remember his name.

Well put.
This is a good follow-up to my rant on the “I am responsible for what I say. I am not responsible for what you understand” saying that’s been going around that I wrote a couple days ago.
Al puts it more simply and succinctly than I did.
I am one of the searchers. There are, I believe, millions of us. We are not unhappy, but neither are we really content. We continue to explore life, hoping to uncover its ultimate secret. We continue to explore ourselves, hoping to understand. We like to walk along the beach; we are drawn by the ocean, taken by its power, its unceasing motion, its mystery and unspeakable beauty. We like forests and mountains, deserts and hidden rivers, and the lonely cities as well. Our sadness is as much a part of our lives as is our laughter. To share our sadness with one we love is perhaps as great a joy as we can know - unless it be to share our laughter. We searchers are ambitious only for life itself, for everything beautiful it can provide.

…Or maybe good people just get shafted by assholes but stay good anyway. Not for some otherworldly reward from an invisible man, but because it’s the right fucking thing to do. Rationalize it all you want, Robert. It won’t make life fair.
