I was uncomfortable with some of the arguments in ‘try to try’. I also genuinely believed your life’s mission was impossible, with a certain smugness to that knowledge. Then this post blew me away.
To know that something is impossible. To keep your rational judgements entirely intact, without self deceit. To refuse any way to relieve the tension without reaching the goal. To shut up and do it anyway. There’s something in that that grabs at the core of the human spirit.
Shut up and do the impossible. You can’t send that message to a younger Eliezer, but you’ve given it to me and I’ll use it. Thankyou.
Wow.
