The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Call of the Canyon by Zane Grey: failed me--nor love. It is no longer a mystery. Unhappiness is only a
change. Happiness itself is only change. So what does it matter? The great
thing is to see life--to understand--to feel--to work--to fight--to endure.
It is not my fault I am here. But it is my fault if I leave this strange
old earth the poorer for my failure. . . . I will no longer be little. I
will find strength. I will endure. . . . I still have eyes, ears, nose,
taste. I can feel the sun, the wind, the nip of frost. Must I slink like a
craven because I've lost the love of one man? Must I hate Flo Hutter
because she will make Glenn happy? Never! ... All of this seems better so,
because through it I am changed. I might have lived on, a selfish clod!"
