Ever wondered why you've never been able to "seize the day" despite having watched Dead Poets Society about half a dozen times? Well, tonight, I found out why. Instead of watching DPS, try Zorba the Greek. Watch it once, and never again.
Zorba gives the good man, Basil, some good advice. Says Zorba the wise, "God gave you hands...so that you can grab." "Grab what?" you say? Precisely. You aren't desperate enough. You don't know what you want. How then can you grab?
It's not hard knowing what you want when you need it. Fast forward to somewhere near the end of Zorba the Greek. See those poor Cretans? They know what they want.
Youth is wasted on the young, precisely because they have youth. You'll never be younger than now. So go out, and find something to grab. No, don't seize the day. The day is already yours. Find something real. And forget that silly bit of Latin.
