a spirit of giving

At what point, he wonders, do you
pass the baton, and say, “I’m fine
with watching, from here on
out?” Is that resigning, or is
it
being realistic? It is a question
that not only
confounds, but challenges, too, for
if one
gives in and gives over, then who’s to
say one hasn’t
simply
given up? Perhaps, it’s a matter
of
interpretation. Perhaps, it’s a matter
of
rationalization. Perhaps, it’s
a matter of time, because
after all,
isn’t
just about everything?
