Almost… But Not Yet
Isn’t it useless, though?
Today’s random word is almost… free of other accessories today!!
Seventy percent of the students in this class have chosen existentialism as their path. The young blood in them boils at the right temperature… often mistaken enthusiasm for existentialism.
“Do you know the one word that dims your existence?”
Some guesses, like fear, dishonesty, hate, revenge, etc, flew around.
“Terrific guess! But not it!… The word is almost.”
“But, almost isn’t a virtue!” said Anna.
“Almost creates an illusion that you’re near! It gives you permission to be a little bit less than who you could be. That little bit piles up… and one day… it might be too far.”
