I keep an eye out for good NW writers, one is Philip Dawdy who writes for The Seattle Weekly. He writes on a variety of themes. Last year he did a series of articles on mental health, they are all worth reading, Psyched Out an example of the high quality.

Amidst this whirl of disorder, I learned three crucial things. One, I wasn't going to kill myself. Second, I had far more power over my fate than any doctor ever let on. Third, the existentialists weren't joking: The world is truly absurd.

That quote makes me think of

That quote makes me think of Sherlock Holmes in The Cardboard Box:

"What is the meaning of it, Watson?" said Holmes solemnly as he laid down the paper. "What object is served by this circle of misery and violence and fear? It must tend to some end, or else our universe is ruled by chance, which is unthinkable. But what end? There is the great standing perennial problem to which human reason is as far from an answer as ever."

Great quote. And even Sherlock Holmes wasn't able to figure it out.
