I had to read “The Education of Henry Adams” in English 1A. I realized that that was the theme of the book. Every time you think you have things figured out they change the rules on you. My instructor liked my paper,.
Reminds me of my favorite Bowie quote: “If you feel safe in the area you’re working in, you’re not working in the right area. Always go a little further into the water than you feel you’re capable of being in. Go a little bit out of your depth. And when you don’t feel that your feet are quite touching the bottom, you’re just about in the right place to do something exciting.”
It’s a hard-knock life, and some learn their coping skills at the School of Hard Knocks (not to be confused with the school in the Robert Conrad TV epic, Hard Knox), or at the School of Life, such as columnist John Kass says on his page on that social networking site (whose name is anathema).

Moral of the story: Be careful where you build your nest.
