harping
I used to think my voice would be heard and the repercussions of my thoughts would touch most everyone on the planet. Now that I have finally relaxed my grip on the desire to change the world, I can work on changing my (admittedly) small surroundings. It’s somehow comforting to realize that even if you score in the 99th percentile, there are (statistically speaking) at least 13,063,138 people in China better than you. So thanks to the Chinese you’re relieved of the responsibility of being the best thirteen million times over…to say nothing of India.
I hope this doesn’t sound depressed…realizing that I will never be the best guitar player out there has allowed me to take up lessons.
If I harp on something, does that make me a harpist?
