About Failure
Dear Ndugu,
I am weak and I am a failure. There’s just no getting around it. Relatively soon, I will die. Maybe in twenty years. Maybe tommorrow. Doesn’t matter. Once I’ve died, and everyone who knew me has died, it will be like I never existed at all. What difference have I made to anybody’s life? None that I can think of. None at all. Well, hope things are fine with you.
Yours truly,
Warren Schmidt
