Despite the title, that's not the answer. That's a C. S. Lewis quote, duh.
In my younger and more vulnerable years, my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since.
"Whenever you feel like criticizing any one," he told me, "just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had."
You have heard this, whether or not you remember or even faintly (don't) recognize it. You've heard it. It's brilliant. This is the kind of writing that gets you, to the core. ugh, I mean really. How does he do it? Where can I get the Fitzgerald gene? Is there some magical word bank in the clouds that I can have access to? Do you need a membership or password?
One day. Courage, dear heart.
Or something like that.
happy Tuesday!
