Hunter s thompson the fear7/2/2023 If I were to attempt to give you specific advice, it would be too much like the blind leading the blind. I do not see life through your eyes, nor you through mine. What is truth to one may be disaster to another. I ask you though, in listening to what I say, to remember that all advice can only be a product of the man who gives it. I am not a fool, but I respect your sincerity in asking my advice. To presume to point a man to the right and ultimate goal- to point with a trembling finger in the RIGHT direction is something only a fool would take upon himself. You ask advice: ah, what a very human and very dangerous thing to do! For to give advice to a man who asks what to do with his life implies something very close to egomania. Thompson’s letter, found in Letters of Note, offers some of the most thoughtful and profound advice I’ve ever come across. Thompson was 22 years old when he wrote this letter to his friend Hume Logan in response to a request for life advice.
