Quiet Desperation

"The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. 
What is called resignation is confirmed desperation. 
From the desperate city, you go into the desperate country and have to console yourself with the bravery of minks and muskrats. 
A stereotyped but unconscious despair is concealed even under what are called the games and amusements of mankind. 
There is no play in them, for this comes after work. 
But it is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things." 
      - Henry David Thoreau

Cup of Coffee Concerns

No, I am not practicing my alliteration, Well... OK, I am, but not on purpose. Almost every morning I take a few minutes over my first cup of coffee to get all introspective on myself which usually leads to concerns, questions, and not unsurprisingly a lot more coffee. Hence, the Cup of Coffee Concerns.
