We thought of life by analogy with a journey, a pilgrimage, which had a serious purpose at the end, and the thing was to get to that end, success or whatever it is, maybe heaven after youβre dead. But we missed the point the whole way along. It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing or to dance while the music was being played.
