Paltriest Dilemma

William Barrett on Kierkegaard in Irrational Man

"For the thinker, as for the artist, what counts in life is not the number of rare and exciting adventures he encounters, but the inner depth of that life, by which something great may be made out of even the paltriest and most banal of occurrences."

Do you agree?

Forget the skydiving, forget that mountain climb in the Andes, and cancel that city slickers style ranch camp you signed up for, or whatever Adrenalin rush you are/were seeking.

Sit down and drum up something great from your hour commute, selecting your cereal (colon blow or super colon blow), flossing, or watching yet another episode of CSPAN.

The gauntlet has been thrown down...hard?

Baby steps...I'll start by picking my cereal.
