"Should we all confess our sins to one another we would all laugh at one another for our lack of originality."
-- Khalil Gibran [Courtesy of The Writers Almanac]
These words really intrigue me. Periodically, I have moments where I feel all alone, as if there isn't another person on this planet who is affected by life in the ways that I am or that my actions and reactions to life are unique to me and my peculiar set of defects
It's a kind of vanity to believe that I'm so original either in my faults or virtues. When I discover how very ordinary either my vices or virtues are, it's both a relief and a bit of a let down.
