I'm trying to track down a short-story that I read as a teenager and which made a deep impression on me. It was by Beckett and it started with a stream of consciousness in which an old (?) man reminiscened over a stairway he'd known as a child. In those days I read it in a Danish translation, which makes it even harder, but it went something like this: "The stairs weren't very high. I'd played on them many times as a child and counted their steps. Only, I couldn't tell you how high they were, because I never knew if I had to count the ground level as one step and the top level as one step. Consequently, I'd always arrive at three different numbers. I'm not even sure that, even if I found one of the three numbers in my memory the other two would come back to me as well..." and so on. I really want to re-read this story as an adult man, so if it rings a bell I'll be most grateful for a clue.

I think it makes a lot of sense, but I wanted to know if others think what the writer says is really true or not?

MMMMKay. This is just the beginning of a philosophical essay, but tell me what you think and make any suggestions if you have them!! Keep in mind that I am an Honors 10 (10th grade) English student, so don't be too rough on me!! =] Thanx.


I believe that one should appreciate life’s conveniences, but be grateful for its hardships.
While the conveniences of life should be appreciated and enjoyed, it is the struggles that one endures that cultivate insight, as well as awareness and knowledge. Why is pity so often offered to those who endure great hardship in their lives, and not envy? The forbearing people who tolerate and overcome these adversities gain so much more than those who live the carefree and glamorous lives that are so commonly sought after. They gain a greater sense of perseverance and self-awareness and perceive issues in such a more insightful manner. Conveniences are life’s “coffee breaks”, but hardships are the tough life lessons that shape and mold who we become and what we will see, hear, and believe for the rest of our lives.

My wife recently went to our relatively new pastor some counceling because she was afraid that if she unloaded anymore on her friends it would border on abuse. The pastor told her that ALL her problems stem from unresolved sin im her life. What he did not hear her say was that all of our financial issues stem from the brain tumor I was BORN with. So, getting to the question....WAS I BORN INTO ALL OF THIS MISERY BECAUSE OF UNRESOLVED SIN IN MY LIFE? I KNOW GOD IS LOVE, I HAVE EXPERIENCED HIS LOVE, AND MERCY, SOOOOO.....WHY DOES THIS PASTOR WANT TO MAKE GOD OUT TO BE A BULLY?
