One never knows in which direction life will take you. If you know where the end point is, it can help explain the journey. But we never know where the end point is do we? All we can do is embrace the moment we’re in.

Assessors of writing may also be practising book/film critics.

There is a touch of drama in your chocolate piece.

Any attempt at a ‘memoir’, in my opinion, is much more than a ‘puny lunge at immortality’.

For we discover such a lot about ourselves and what mattered as ‘we lived a life worth living.’

This quote comes from ‘Plato at the Googleplex, Why Philosophy won’t Go Away’ a book written by Rebecca Newberger Goldstein, which I recommend to you.

Let me know if you think Rebecca’s book is a’puny lunge at immortality?’
