A hundred years-in this life on earth
Talent and destiny are apt to feud.

And watch such things as make you sick at heart.

"Men of today seem to feel more acutely than ever the paradox of their condition.
They know themselves to be the supreme end to which all action should be
subordinated, but the exigencies of action force them to treat one another
as instruments or obstacles, as means. The more widespread their
mastery of the world, the more they find themselves crushed by
uncontrollable forces. Though they are masters of the atomic bomb,
yet it is created only to destroy them.
Each one has the incomparable taste in his mouth of his own life,
and yet each feels himself more insignificant than an insect within an
immense collectivity whose limits are one with the earth's."
Simone de Beauvoir, The Ethics of Ambiguity
