“What did you get done this week? It's time to build. Our era is dripping with vigor and drive as it is. It's had its fill of ideas, all it wants is action. This mania for action comes from having nothing to do. I mean inwardly. It's so easy to summon the drive to action and so difficult to find a meaning in it! Hardly anyone understands this nowadays.

Baggage, they called it, because you carry it with you wherever you go. Some bags were heavier than others. Too heavy. Most eventually broke under the enormous strain, succumbed to the inevitable and just burned out. Or ended things in the only way they knew for sure was permanent, removed any variables in favour of a dead cert, you might say. Humans are frail creatures.”
