Requiem For The New World

"Our life seems to be measured not by time but by our accomplishments. In that we find individual satisfaction. That which makes us feel better about our poor decisions because they were our own decisions. We foolishly see weaknesses as strengths, as the pride in our failures. The accomplishment of life itself is an undying question. We used to grasp the stars above in our own excellence, now we only wonder what we could've done better underneath them."
