“If you think about it, an enormous amount of damage is created by the myth of utopia. There is an intrinsic feeling in nearly every person that your life could be perfect if you only had such-and-such a car or such-and-such a spouse or such-and-such a job. We believe we will be made whole by our accomplishments, our possessions, or our social status. It’s written in the fabric of our DNA that life used to be beautiful and now it isn’t, and if only this and if only that, it would be beautiful again.” –Donald Miller, A Million Miles In A Thousand Years
I’m still not sure if knowing this makes me feel better or worse. It’s often both. But I am extremely grateful to, at the very least, finally know the truth.
