Life is not easy, and it isn't beautiful all the time. It is hard to keep up the illusion of magnificence, the beauty of life when I know that it does not truly exist. When I know that life is inhabited by liars and manipulators and cheaters, instead of the honest, gracious people we are all supposed to be. Wouldn't that make life easier? The truth is, the good people are nothing without the bad people. They are not special, or rare, or remarkable if there aren't people in life to bring us down. Life isn't easy, and it's not beautiful, and that is because we are afraid to embrace the part inside of us that realizes we too, are bad.

"To believe you are magnificent.
And gradually to discover that you are not magnificent.
Enough labor for one human life."
