“But you don't need to waste your time worrying about the marketplace,
Try to help the human race.
Struggling to survive its harshest hour.”

—  Paul Simon

Father and Daughter
Song lyrics, Surprise (2006)
Context: Trust your intuition.
It's just like goin' fishin'.
You cast your line and hope you get a bite.
But you don't need to waste your time worrying about the marketplace,
Try to help the human race.
Struggling to survive its harshest hour.
