Hunter S. Thompson on our purpose in life

Discouraged and distressed over the current political climate and media coverage in our world today, I find solace in a letter of advice by 22 year old Hunter S. Thompson to his friend Hume Logan on finding your purpose.

Written in 1958, it is timelessly insightful, especially given that Thompson and the world had no idea then that he would become one of the most important writers of the 20th century - gonzo journalism godfather, pundit of media politics, dark philosopher.
