Since 2007, I have launched a great many projects, blogs, approaches, experiments, trials, and other unfinished ventures.

But was a single one of them a success? Did I ever reach a goal I set for myself? Was there any USE to it all?

Well, as I take to the skies now and look down at my path from above—from a safe distance—I can state this: My hobby projects have brought me exactly where I wanted to be.

Namely, closer to the truth. Closer than ever.

Of course, the truth is never fully reached. But the more of our delusions we can shake off, the closer we come to disillusionment (in the truest sense of the word), the clearer life becomes in general—and the more useful we become to our fellow human beings.

So, there’s no reason to cry over spilled milk; coffee tastes much better black anyway.

Yours, Christoph
