What happens when you learn that nothing is as it seems? If one day, you are awakened at 3 in the morning, and you learn that a child is dangerously, life-threateningly ill. And suddenly you understand what it was all for.
Law reviews, large distributions, and legal honors, be damned. You did not learn to detach your emotion, to pierce bureaucracies, to bend others to your will for any reason but this one. Your “practice,” all of it, was for this one moment when your persuasive urgency was needed to save a child’s life.
And when you have done it and won, what is left? Where do you direct that urgency? What is it now for? What now can be important? Please, if you understand the question, and if you know the answer, tell me. I am still looking.
