Today is the 138th birthday of the author Franz Kafka. It should be of no surprise to frequent readers here that I find his dark hopeless hope so truthful and accurate, that I often think of him randomly throughout the day. Most recently while I was brushing my teeth, I thought of this quote. “The meaning of life is that it stops” on the surface does seem dark and hopeless, but it is the truth. So what are you going to do about it? What are you going to do with the undetermined, unidentified about of time you have? That is the glimmer of hope in the darkness. The world is a better place because he was in it and still feels the loss that he has left.
