Only the madman fears the end of madness.
Only the addict fears the end of addiction.
Only the covetous fear the end of "things".
"The end of madness? Impossible."
"The end of addiction? Impossible."
"The end of covetous 'things'? Impossible."
But it is only the lost ones who fear "the impossible".
A mountain man was once asked if he ever got lost. "No," he answered, "I've never been lost. But sometimes for a week, a month, or even a longer spell or two, I didn't know how to get where I was going."
The true explorer finds himself not uncomfortably cast into the unknown while seeking bearings.
It is better to embrace a truly glorious destination that sometimes seems impossible to reach than to trudge in the well-trudged ruts of madness, addiction, and "things" that lead the multitudes nowhere with nothing to hope for.
