Q: How do you survive whole in a world where weâre all victims of something?â
Ms. Morrison: Ummm, how do you survive wholeâI canât do this quickly, for oneâhow can you survive whole and when weâre victims of something, um. You know thatâs a nice fat, eastern/western philosophical question about âhow do you get throughâ?
Sometimes you donât survive whole, you just survive in part. But the grandeur of life is that attempt, itâs not about that solution.
It is about being as fearless as one can, behaving as beautifully as one can, under completely impossible circumstances. Itâs that, that makes it elegant. Good is more interesting. More complex, more demanding.
Evil is silly. It may be horrible but at the same time itâs not a compelling idea: itâs predictable, it needs a tuxedo, it needs blood, it needs fingernails, itâs all that costume, in order to get anybodyâs attention.
But the opposite, which is survival, blossoming, endurance, those things are just more compelling intellectually, if not spiritually and they certainly are spiritually. This is more fascinating job.
We are already born. We are going to die. So you have to do something interesting that you respect in between.â
