my response to fable was to be quiet, still and humbled. i felt a panic that i didn’t have purpose anymore. it strictly dominates me as an engineer.

i had a month of that before realising - that more than caring about “how i achieved my goals”, i just cared about “my goals” and a spring of new ideas, tasks and purpose rose up within me.

it’s fitting we should taste the emotional discomfort of obsolescence first
