Creating a life that reflects your values and satisfies your soul is a rare achievement. In a culture that relentlessly promotes avarice and excess as the good life, a person happy doing his own work is usually considered an eccentric, if not a subversive.
Bill Watterson, creator of Calvin and Hobbes
Perseverance, my fellow geniuses, can often mean having to stand against being understood by friends, lovers, etc, as a stubborn eccentric. To find power in truth, personal truth, is the essence of the good life. And, if truth destroys something––as has been said––then it may truly be something that needs to be destroyed. What can be more noble than destroying fraud with truth? That is capital T truth.
