If I can't do, I doubt if anyone else ever can
This is a biography of a disgruntled ultra-runner who truly believes that if he can’t do something, than obviously no one else ever can. He just suffers from what is generally the problem with the society at large today. He’s self-righteous but at the same time a nay-sayer, discouraging others to get started or keep moving.

Why do anything?
In life you reach a point where you stop feeling... yes feeling anything. No pain, no fear, no anger, no joy, no disgust, no trust or mistrust, no anticipation, no surprise, no sadness, no thirst, no hunger, no depression, no hate, no love, no nothing. But you have to go through all of them and much more, literally to abysmally lows and higher than highest highs to get there. And then you suddenly realise that nothing matters. You and everything else around you is simply insignificant.
