Rush Live in Rio DVD Cover

He’s old enough to know what’s right
But young enough not to choose it
He’s noble enough to win the world
But weak enough to lose it

He’s a new world man
~ New World Man by Rush, album: Signals, 1982

I find myself on this interface in my life. I can look back on these years since graduating college and see that I have grown in wisdom but part of this wisdom is the realization that I have infinitely far to go. Geddy Lee’s verse here minds me of Paul’s famous tongue-twisting
paradoxical soliloquy: “I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.” (Romans 7:15)
