.
The capital-T Truth is about life before death.
It is about the real value of a real education,
which has almost nothing to do with knowledge,
and everything to do with simple awareness;awareness of what is so real and essential,
so hidden in plain sight all around us, all the time, that we
have to keep reminding ourselves over and over:
"This is water."
"This is water."
It is unimaginably hard to do this,
to stay conscious and alive in the adult world day in and
day out.
—David Foster Wallace
