The Perfect Life
To Longwaybye:
What is a perfect life? I guess there are as many definitions as there are individuals. And if success is something measurable, then there is no such thing as a standard yardstick for it. At the most, we have a pseudo norm imposed by society’s expectation and definition of success and failure, often in materialistic terms. But everything is relative and time and again we yearn for the opposites of what we have. How frequently we heard of rich people dreaming of simpler lives, or of commoners wishing to belong to the royals?
When all things, good and bad are added up and taken into account, what really matters is not the gross but the net - the bottomline : Are you truly happy? If you are at peace with yourself in saying yes to this question, then no matter what others say, you truly are a success. On this basis, both the tricycle rider and the SUV flaunter could attend school reunions on equal terms… But often, those who had the guts to follow their hearts end up the real winners.
