Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them?
-Hamlet, Scene 3, Act 1
That is really the question now... fight the good fight or run away to fight another day. Living the life you envision for yourself is much harder than one would expect really. So many obstacles from people to situations stand in the way to the path you choose. How can one be true to thine own self, when one has to be true to everyone else as well. Like some mystical ancient god, we all wear many masks and rarely show our 'true' selves. And in the end...
One's real life is often the life that one does not lead.
-Oscar Wilde, L'Envoi

"Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light."
-Dylan Thomas
