Quote Commentary 8...Gilda Radner

I always wanted a happy ending... Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity.
-- Gilda Radner

Mrs. Radner was an American comedienne and actress who was a regular on Saturday Night Live. She battled and died of ovarian cancer at 42 raising an awareness for the disease.

Besides the perfect poetry of this piece it offers also a frighteningly exciting truth.

We humans hate being in the dark. We hate confusion and chaos and the worrisome ignorance forced upon us by hints of tragedy. We crave clarity and thirst for reason in the rage.

Then we realize the beauty is always brightest at the end of a long and winding tunnel. The thrill is in the twist, we can't handle knowing how our story ends.

Honestly, personally. I want to live on the edge. I want to scream right back at the noise. Everyday there is an adventure waiting to be had that will bore through the sands of time and be alive to inspire those left standing. There are discoveries to be made that will chill us to the bone.

Because, ladies and gentlemen, life is like a project. You always have a plan, and something always gets in the way. You can either cast the endeavor aside or use your wit and all other allies to persevere. Things are going to cut it close. You'll bleed, sweat, puke your guts out, cry, laugh, learn, and love every minute of it. You'll be inspired and discouraged. Your heart will break and your emotions will swell. And you'll always be surprised...."Delicious ambiguity"
