Always Go To The Funeral
“Always go to the funeral” means that I have to do the right thing when I really, really don’t feel like it. I have to remind myself of it when I could make some small gesture, but I don’t really have to and I definitely don’t want to. I’m talking about those things that represent only inconvenience to me, but the world to the other guy. You know, the painfully under-attended birthday party. The hospital visit during happy hour. The Shiva call for one of my ex’s uncles. In my humdrum life, the daily battle hasn’t been good versus evil. It’s hardly so epic. Most days, my real battle is doing good versus doing nothing.”
Elon Musk on the "I bought this before Elon went crazy" bumper stickers that some people put on their Teslas:
"There should be an addendum to the bumper sticker that's like, 'I bought this car before Elon turned crazy. Actually, now I realize he's not crazy, and I've seen the light.'"
