What is it like to compete with an inanimate object?
How is it suppose to be?
Is it you lie to an inanimate object about a live thing?
Or is it you lie a live thing about an inanimate object?
How does it feel like when you find yourself prioritizing an inanimate object more than a live thing?
There are some things worth valuing in life, because we can't have some forever.
"How can I pray with this inside me? How can I do what i'm supposed to do? I don't even judge myself by my actions. I judge myself by what's in my heart. And it's rotten because it wants to own thing, but it's not rotten because it's the most content I've ever been, and it's the most content she's ever been too, sitting there together. We're happy. And I keep wondering if we're supposed to be happy."
"Pain's nothing. Pain's what you give, not what you get."
Two of the few lines from the book by Colum McCann. A definite good read. Many things to learn, several to realize, and more to enjoy.
His point: Come to think of it, which is which.
