And Marco Polo replied to the Great Kahn: "The inferno of the living is not something that will be; if there is one, it is already here, it is the inferno we live in everyday, that we form by staying together. There are two ways not to suffer from it. The first way is easy for many people: to accept the inferno and to become part of it until you cannot distinguish it any longer. The second way is risky and requires attention and constant learning: to look for and be able to recognize who and what, amidst the inferno, is not part of the inferno, and make it last, and give it space" (The Invisible Cities - Italo Calvino).
