The Icarus Moment
Posted on 10 August 2009 by china
I have defined “The Icarus Moment” as the singular event that happens sometime between teenagerdom and young-adulthood where an idividual in search of their dreams comes to an awareness that “there is nothing life likes better than some tasty dreams.” Some of us experience it in love, when our Beloved rips the wings from our back and the heart from our chest and we plunge into the abyss of “Knowing our own Mortality.”
It’s the moments we lose our wings and from that point on, we have to walk, mortal, upon the ground.
XKCD seems to have done a comic on having “friends” who may usher in our own Icarus Moment.
