I've read it sometimes since you posted it. The reason is that it seems like the exact opposite of where I've been standing. It reminds me of the song "The day I tried to live" from Soundgarden, in some way.
That reminds me of some words of wisdom that somebody gave me: "Every day, try to do something that you think you might regret."
I now see that I spent most of my life in doing neither what I ought nor what I liked. -A Lost Soul- The Screwtape Letters
The law will hang the man or woman Who steals the goose from off the common But lets the greater thief go loose Who steals the common from the goose - Anon

Que que? See the MV. I think that you'll understand better than I can explain. It's a nice song by the way.
Say your peace, for I'll be on my way One last look, nothing left to say As I turn my back, to walk away I shall forgive, but I won't forget that day For every sky that shines Shall meet the pouring rain For my will shall never break though it may bend Like the scars that heal yet never mend -Scars-Black Label Society-

This has to be my all time favorite: THE MAN IN THE ARENA Excerpt from the speech "Citizenship In A Republic" delivered at the Sorbonne, in Paris, France on 23 April, 1910 download PDF of complete speech It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
