apologetics in strange places...

Elizabeth Gilbert on how we kill geniuses:

"If you never happen to believe in the first place that the most extraordinary aspects of your being [were created by you]," she said, you'd be better off. "Maybe if you just believe that they were on loan to you from some unimaginable source for some exquisite portion of your life, which you pass along when you're finished to somebody else," it would change everything."

Apparently some of the best and brightest among us are finding they're not made for self-worship.
