youe pleasure is my pleasure

Min Idealperson I've had what seems like a perpetually infinite amount of time to ponder and reflect, in that time, I have come to realize; that the two hardest things to contemplate in life, are failure and age; and those are one and the same. Perfection is the natural consequence of eternity: wait long enough, and anything will realize its potential. Coal becomes diamonds, sand becomes pearls, apes become men. It's simply not given to us, in one lifetime, to see those consummations, and so every failure becomes a reminder that some consummations, no matter how devoutly wished for, never come, that some apes will never be men, not in all the worlds ages. So what's a monkey to think, who with a typewriter and eternity still can't eke out Shakespeare?
