"don't lost your grip on the dreams of the past, you must fight just to keep them alive" ~Survivor

i have used the Rudyard Kipling analogy so frequently, that it must feel really hackneyed coming out of my mouth. but in spite of sounding like a broken record, if you recall, that the theme to his short story The Most Dangerous Game dealt with how when/if a man loses intrigue in what he is most passionate about, then he might as well be dead, and to revitalize himself, he must find a way to rekindle that interest. well, for those who know me can attest that i've never had a dearth of vocabulary, but lately i have not been visiting Dictionary.com and learning their new word of the day. am i drawing a proper analogy here? i hope not, or else, i will need some serious rekindling to do
