One of the Views about Life
"Because we are nothing special - on a par with ants and daffodils - it is the work of culture to make us feel special - just as parents need to make their children feel special to help them bear and bear with - and hopefully enjoy - their insignificance in the larger scheme of things."
-Adam Phillips in Missing Out: In Praise of the Unlived Life
Aside from his excessive use of dashes, and though I disagree that it's mainly culture's doing, I like that he acknowledges our insignificance and so, in turn, I acknowledge the point about life that he is trying to make.
Pardon me for the excessive use of commas.
