After all, life has a secret, which can‘t let us know everything about it: nor it is bad or good, nor it is pointless or controlled by the Divine. All these things were said, because it lies in all of us. That life, through which we travel, is colourless and voiceless. I remember you once said: „The universe doesn‘t know, that we are here“.
So I must get rid of such a childish idea, that describing the nature of life is one of my duties. I can‘t trust my inner impulses, which constantly make me say, that life is cruel or nice! Shouting that life is bad when you are in trouble is none the less shameful than shouting that life is good when you are successful.
From Thornton Wilder’s novel “The ides of march”
