"That’s
it, old man,” he said. “Never say die. You have to be
mad, it’s true, to keep going and hope, but the first reptile who
dragged his belly out of the water a million years ago to
live on land without lungs and tried to breathe all the same—
he too was mad. In the end the reptile became a man. We
must always try to do the best we can— perhaps one day well
become human, who knows"
It´s
the first time I hear about the relation between madness and
evolution. I wonder whether Darwin took it into account on his work.
I´ve never been very daring but I can appreciate what courageous
people are able to do. It´s called ´to go out of your comfort zone´
nowadays. Anyway, the last sentence of this post seems to be a good
advice for almost everything in life.
