A Nihilist Who Cares

Reflecting on the books I’ve read over the last year, I think that Mark Rowland’s “The Philosopher and the Wolf” is the most insightful and rewarding (and that’s saying something, as it contended with the works of Christopher Hitchens, George RR Martin, Frank Herbert, Neil Gaiman, and others). Here’s a passage:
A life lived in the rosy warmth and kindness of hope is the one any of us would choose if we could. We would be mad not to. But what is most important when the time comes - and it always will - is to live your life with the coldness of a wolf. Such a life is too hard, too wintry, and we could only wither. But there come moments when we can live it. It is these moments that make us worth it because, in the end, it is only our defiance that redeems us.(Adapted from a facebook post).
