Maybe This Is Why

"People often find themselves achieving victories that are empty, successes that have come at the expense of things they suddenly realize were far more valuable to them. People often struggle to achieve a higher income, more recognition or a certain degree of professional competence, only to find that their drive to achieve their goal blinded them to the things that really mattered most and now are gone."

Makes You Stop & Think

Something I read over at TPB's site particularly resonnated with me:

A recent conversation reminded me of the potential for legal education to change how I think. I never lost, as a result of law, that sense of enjoyment of the reckless and the beautiful, but I did lose a lot of my ability to think in a holistic, fuzzy sort of way. To think as I needed to in order to write poetry.

I guess I'm glad I'm not alone in feeling this way. Also, let me congratulate him on having a drink named after him. I raise a glass to you.
