Here's quote wherein is contained a short, short story, in its entirety:

A RADICALLY CONDENSED HISTORY OF POSTINDUSTRIAL LIFE

David Foster Wallace
Ploughshares, Spring 1998

When they were introduced, he made a witticism, hoping to be liked. She
laughed very hard, hoping to be liked. Then each drove home alone,
staring straight ahead, with the very same twist to their faces.

The man who'd introduced them didn't much like either of them, though he
acted as if he did, anxious as he was to preserve good relations at all
times. One never knew, after all, now did one.

"I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna tell everyone
To lighten up (I'm gonna tell 'em that)
I've got no one to blame
For every time I feel lame
I'm looking up" ~Sheryl Crow

Greatness is not in where we stand, but in what direction we are moving. We must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it -- but sail we must and not drift, nor lie at anchor.
