A frog sings for nobody

What can you learn from a frog in a well?

There’s a fable. It’s a rambling mess, features a hypocritical turtle, and boils down to “you don’t know what you don’t know.”

At the end of this post, I’ll tell a better fable.


My life improved when I decided to expect nothing in return.

Get used to it: you’ll die, and the universe will forget you.

But it’s okay. Yell into the void. Shine a little brighter. Spread what you want to see.

Do great things anyway.

Nobody cares, but I believe in you.

(Plus, then it’s nice when something does happen.)
