More From C. S. Lewis

So often, we blame other people when, really, the problem is right down in here. i'm not happy. i don't know what's wrong. if i just had another job, i could be happy. if i just get married, i would be happy. well if i just wasn't married, i would be happy. well, if i just had some kids, i'll be happy. i'll be happy when these kids finally grow up and get out of here. if i had a bigger house, i would be happy. well, i got a big house. now if i just had a maid to clean, i'd be happy. well, now if i just had a maid i could get along with better, i'd be happy.

The death of leopold gursky leopold gursky started dying on august 18, 1920. he died learning to walk. he died standing at the blackboard. and once, also, carrying a heavy tray. he died practicing a new way to sign his name. opening a window. washing his genitals in the bath. he died alone, because he was too embarrassed to phone anyone. or he died thinking about alma. or when he chose not to.
