“The problem with endings in real life is they tend to be protracted dwindles, not a dynamic denouement …
It’s people moving on and Christmas cards that quit showing up in your mailbox … that’s how most relationships end most of the time.”
“T.S. Eliot nailed it with the last stanza of The Hollow Men:”
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.
