Suffering is only suffering if itโs done in silence, in solitude. Pain experienced in public, in view of loving millions, was no longer pain. It was communion.
Dave EggersWhen we pass by another person without telling them we love them itโs cruel and wrong and we all know this.
Dave EggersI've purposely stayed away from reading much about postmodern theory, and most everything I have read just bored me to tears. I don't think anybody's written about it, or very few have, with any verve.
Dave EggersHow many times in life can we make decisions that are important but will not hurt anyone? Are we obligated- maybe we are- to say yes to any choice when no one will be hurt? We use the word hurt when talking about things like this because when these things go wrong it can feel as if you were hit in the sternum by a huge animal that's run for miles just to strike you.
