A frog sings for nobody
What can you learn from a frog in a well?
There’s a fable. It’s a rambling mess featuring a hypocritical turtle that’s better said in one sentence (“you don’t know what you don’t know”).
At the end of this post, I’ll tell a better fable.
My life improved when I decided to expect nothing in return.
- You’ll pour your soul into a work, and nobody will appreciate the details.
- You’ll tell a dozen people you love them, and none will care.
- You’ll post a joke, and nobody will like it.
Get used to it: you’ll die, and the universe will forget you.
But it’s okay. Yell into the void. Shine a little brighter. Spread what you want to see.
Do great things anyway.
Nobody cares, but I believe in you.
(Plus, then it’s nice when something does happen.)
