And it's a beautiful idea... that life is, on the surface,
unendurable. It's a fierce, ferocious thing.
Schopenhauer said, at one of his best moments, life is
something that should not have been. And if it is not something
that should not have been but something that should be, then
you've got to say "Yeah" to it that's all. That's the way it is.
--Joseph Campbell (1904-87)
