We recently came across Linds Redding, an art director/motion graphics artist who blogs on the tricky business of living and dying.
This is from his post A Short Lesson in Perspective:
The other thing I did, I now discover, was to convince myself that there was nothing else, absolutely nothing, I would rather be doing. That I had found my true calling in life, and that I was unbelievably lucky to be getting paid – most of the time – for something that I was passionate about, and would probably be doing in some form or other anyway...
So was it worth it?
Well of course not. It turns out it was just advertising.
“Countless late nights and weekends, holidays, birthdays, school recitals and anniversary dinners were willingly sacrificed at the altar of some intangible but infinitely worthy higher cause. It would all be worth it in the long run…”
