“Almost all great writers have as their motif, more or less disguised, the passage from childhood to maturity, the clash between the thrill of expectation and the disillusioning knowledge of truth. ‘Lost Illusion’ is the undisclosed title of every novel.” – Andre Maurois
Man just ruin it all for us huh Andre. Disillusionment is not fun and exciting. It’s uncomfortable. But as David Thoreau once wrote, “better than love, better than money, better than fame, grace me with the truth. ” (And I got that on a t shirt.) It’s true, we have these grand dreams. We have these grand ideas and then you come to ask yourself, this isn’t really how it works, is it? But what’s great is that once you take a moment to accept the truth, you get the chance to learn how to love those beside you a little better. I think that is probably one of the greatest things I’ve learned over the years.
