:52:01
- looking at all that history and,
reflecting on the achievement -
:52:05
- of people long ago kind of...
:52:07
put things into perspective
:52:11
My trip to Denver, for instance is
so insignificant compared to -
:52:15
- the journeys that others
have taken, -
:52:18
- the bravery that
they have shown, -
:52:21
- the hardships they've endured.
:52:27
I know we are all pretty small in
the big scheme of things.
:52:31
And I supposed the most you
can hope for -
:52:33
- is to make some kind
of difference.
:52:37
What... what kind of difference
have I made ?
:52:40
What in the world is better
because of me ?
:52:45
When I was out in Denver,
I tried to do the right thing, -
:52:48
- tried to convince Jeannie,
she was...
:52:50
making a big mistake but...
:52:53
I failed.
:52:58
Now she is married to that ??(demeuré)
and there is nothing I can do about it.
:53:06
I am... weak.
:53:08
And I am a failure.
:53:12
There is just no getting around it.
:53:18
Relatively soon,
I will die.
:53:22
Maybe in 20 years...
maybe tomorrow...
:53:26
It doesn't matter.
:53:30
Once I am dead, and everyone
who knew me dies too, a little -
:53:35
- be as though I never even existed
:53:39
What difference is my life
made to anyone ?
:53:43
None that I can think of.
:53:46
None... at all.
:53:50
hope things are fine with you.
:53:54
Yours truly...
Warren Schmidt.
