    I’m convinced that happiness is the result of being born into a wealthy life while being far too stupid to do anything of merit in life. Ignorance is bliss.

      I’m not even convinced happiness and fulfillment are the right thing to be actively seeking in life. If you have purpose, these things will come in time. If you chase them as your purpose, you will never truly have either.

          I hear that. I work from home and I’ve yet to make friends in a new country. It would be downright monastic if not for my family, instead it’s more of an insane asylum vibe.
