Letters to a Young Contrarian: Chapter 2

In chapter 2, Hitchens writes about Rilke, a fellow writer. He tells about advice Rilke has given which really speaks to me. "For under the influence of serious Things it will either fall away from you (if it is something accidental), or else, (if is is really innate and belonged to you) it will grow strong, and become a serious tool and take its place among the instruments which you can form your art with." This advice is true. He is saying that if something is meant to be it will happen. When a writer has a creative block, its not the end of the world, but rather will serve as inspiration later on.
