From George Orwell

"At that time failure seemed to me to be the only virtue. Every suspicion of self-advancement, even to “succeed” in life to the extent of making a few hundreds a year, seemed to me spiritually ugly, a species of bullying."

Very true Georgie. Don't we at times feel this way? Past teenage angst; a thumping consciousness can still be heard back there in the darkness of the mind saying; What are you doing? Are you doing right by you? These are hard questions. Which, hopefully, sooner rather than later, we need to answer.
