Quote of the Day:

People ask for criticism, but they only want praise.

W. Somerset Maugham

  1. Hey — all you Haitians out there…
    … You just need to smile as you’re eatin’ those dirt cookies. /snark

    If happiness is the measure of true wealth, why are so many people convinced it’s measured by excess instead?

    My, The Telegraph certainly is being contrite these days. I can’t help but wonder if some of the honchos there, lost their full measure of wealth recently.

    1. Having enough
      I suppose the secret is to find a balance between having in excess, and not having anything at all. In other words: having enough.

      Enough for what? enough for not worrying about what you are going to eat today, or tomorrow. Enough to clothe you and protect you from the elements; enough to pay for the medical bills and conserve your health.

      But maybe, enough to be free to pursue that which you feel a deep passion about. Consumerism is not an end, and that’s the mistake many people are making, for no matter how many things they buy if they are still feeling empty inside, and that emptyness cannot be filled with something you get with an American Express card.

      It’s not the depth of the rabbit hole that bugs me…
      It’s all the rabbit SH*T you stumble over on your way down!!!
