Oct. 7th, 2005 08:52 pm"the moral of the story is that we're here on Earth to fart around...we're dancing animals..." -- Kurt Vonnegut.
I really, really love that quote. I really love the matter-of-fact way he said it, too (speaking of why he'd rather go out to buy one envelope, and interact with people, than go on-line and order an entire box of envelopes)
So many people forget that. They're so focused on the rat race -- or finding a way out of the rat race -- that they forget that it's not all about winning the most toys, but watching other people play with them, too.
Or so it's always seemed to me, anyway.
