I was talking to my friends Will and Russ via e-mail about cancer and how so many people we know are being diagnosed with the wretched illness. This is what Russ had to say about it.
"Sometimes I wonder if cancer isn't a metaphor for what's wrong with us. Healthy, normal cells forget where they are and what they are there to do and so they starting growing in the wrong ways, wreaking havoc. What if that's just like us, forgetting who we are and why we are here, and so we do all kinds of things that do nothing but wreak havoc instead of the good we were made for.It is sad. The metaphor and the real thing. It's a part of what's just so wrong with the world."
That is profound! Where does he come up with this stuff? Briliant.
