    Steve:
    Doesn’t reading this 2 years after it was originally written and not having to change anything to make it apt today depress you? It sure does me.

    From Steve — you bet.

    Chuck, Steve - think of the Chaos Theory, the butterfly and the storm

    “ . . and I’ll admit that it’s a big regret, is that I wish it could somehow have meant more. I would have liked it if my life . . . my sacrifice, if you want to put it that way, would have made some kind of a difference. That would have been nice….”
    “And one more thing, old man: You were wrong in what you said . . . Your life did matter. You made a difference. In fact, as things worked out, you made all the difference in the world.”

    think of the unbelievably intertwined nature of reality - you never know who’s reading - think of Nietzsche! Only 40 copies of the fourth part of Zarathustra were printed, by himself

    but like Zach, sometimes you never learn what your impact is/was/will be - that doesn’t mean, that the imact itself is zero

  4. Chuck Says:

    Why wait 50 years? In Zarathustra’s last words (”…rise up now, rise up, great noontide!”

  5. Chuck Says:

    P.S.
    That quote of Zarathustra came from the 4th part of Nietzsche’s “Thus Spoke Zarathustra”, in a reprint of the 1961 edition of a “Penquin Classics” from a translation by R.J. Hollingdale, and based on an 1892 publication of ‘The fourth and Last part’ of Zarathustra as part of the 1st collected edition of Nietzsche.

    Chuck

    reprint of the 1961

    yes, i guess, we shouldn’t wait that long to “rise up now” ;-)
