On Passive Resignation
People come into and leave the world alone, and that what passes in between for communication with others is at best a sometime thing and more often an exercise in mutual misunderstanding. Language, memory and that dubious entity known as personality are chimerical and elusive, Pesimistic resignation is perhaps too stately a name for this attitude; there is too much amusement and/or weariness in the acceptance of it.
Think of it more as a not entirely gloomy philosophical resignation.
Anonynous.
