Concern

I, like many, was taken by appearances of things by and about Ben Franklin on the Internets recently.

Especially his self schedule, and his question on beginning the day: what good shall I do this day?

So I’ve taken to asking myself two questions in the morning, facing myself in the bathroom mirror: the second question is just parroting B.F.: what good will I do today? The first question, genuinely, is do I have the will to live another fucking day?

Luckily the answer to the first question has been “yes” so far. The answer to the second is always nebulous and vague.
