In the darkest moments of our lives: Col. Jessep’s “You want answers?”

On Being highlighted one of my favorite quotes in a post about The Questions We Ask Ourselves.

The words of Rainer Maria Rilke offer a bit of light in moments of blinding darkness:
“Be patient toward all that is unresolved in your heart… Try to love the questions themselves… Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given because you would not be able to live them — and the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answers.”
