O içindeki karşıtlıkları tanrısal bir ahenge yükseltmemiş, tersine Tanrı ile şeytan arasına germiş ve ortasına da dünyayı koymuştu. Sonsuz olanı yaşamak istiyordu. Hayat onun için karşıt kutuplar arasındaki elektriği boşaltmaktan başka bir şey değildi.

What comes naturally to me? For just a moment, ignore what you have
been taught. Ignore what society has told you. Ignore what others expect of
you. Look inside yourself and ask, “What feels natural to me? When have I
felt alive? When have I felt like the real me?” No internal judgments or
people-pleasing. No second-guessing or self-criticism. Just feelings of
engagement and enjoyment. Whenever you feel authentic and genuine, you
are headed in the right direction.
This pitfall is evident in many areas of life. We focus on working long hours
instead of getting meaningful work done. We care more about getting ten
thousand steps than we do about being healthy. We teach for standardized tests
instead of emphasizing learning, curiosity, and critical thinking. In short, we
optimize for what we measure. When we choose the wrong measurement, we get
the wrong behavior.
