We read their books at an influential age and think, 'So, if I do the right thing, it will feel right to me!' But in the true stories of our lives, the narrative can be more complex, even confusing. To make the best possible choices, you have got to draw, within yourself, on a deeper resource than raw ,because real word is different while writers reinforce prejudices and subtly help to foster an unrealistic view of how the world works.
My candle burns at both ends; it will not last the night; but ah, my foes, and oh, my friends , it gives a lovely light!
