The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman
Could it be that the chaotic, seemingly meaningless daily life, free from narrative structure, is our true existence?
📝ONGO's Reflection
When I first read this wildly eccentric novel, I was bewildered and burst out laughing as half the story passed before the hero was even born. Laurence Sterne's insight is how delightfully he captures the fragmented reality of human consciousness, refusing orderly narrative in favor of chatter and association that trail one after another. It is a wondrous masterpiece, far ahead of its time, that makes me embrace with generosity the absurd moments of a life that never goes according to a perfect plan.

Don't stress yourself out when a carefully laid plan goes awry or suddenly veers off in a completely unexpected direction. Instead, spend the day cheerfully finding new fun and hidden meaning in the unexpected chaos and the process itself.
