As I drove the NJ Turnpike very early each morning I would wonder where so many people alone in their vehicles were going. I assured myself, to their work, which was as important to them as mine to me. My trips were only for a couple of months for a particular project. But as my project neared it’s end I thought how much like ants we are. We go about our lives to and from work, only to build our own colony, as we too have been bred to do. I would think, what is the point?
Then, to feel better about the purpose of my life, I would remember a quote from Pythagoras
“Man is the measurement of all things”.
Life is as good or bad as we make it in this very special place on earth at this very special time in history. My responsibility must be, in some small way, to make it good for those not so lucky. So I remember another quote this one from Edmond Burke “Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could only do a little”. I try to live my life according to Emerson’s essay “Success”.

I’ve had similar epiphanies but with driving by in a car and corners of buildings and birds. and sometimes the curious apt balcony.
