You don't want to hear this any more than I want to say it, but...boss's orders:
You might be lost, looking in the world for the one thing that will actualize you, while simultaneously running from the One thing you don't want to admit might be able to provide that connection.
Tough beans.
Turn around. Admit you've got no idea.
Repent, sinner! Repent!
Kickin' it old school. Hope this helps.

Evelyn Waugh was a Man, or Glory for Dummies
I'm sitting in the corner with my dunce cap on, meditating on the theme of glory:
"Art is the symbol of the two noblest human efforts: to construct and to refrain from destruction." - Evelyn Waugh
"I have foresworn myself. I have broken every law I am sworn to uphold. I have become what I beheld and I am content that I have done right." - Elliot Ness (The fake one who looks like Costner)
"The truth does not change according to our ability to stomach it." - Flannery O'Connor
"Reason, thou see'st, hath all too short a wing." - Dante, in Paradiso
"Sit tight, hold the fort and keep the home fires burning. And if we're not back by dawn, call the president." - Jack Burton
"There is a limit at which forbearance ceases to be a virtue. " - John Bunyan
"That'll do, pig. That'll do." - Farmer Hoggett
