"Why do you think the old stories tell of men who set out on great journeys to impress the gods? Because trying to impress people just isn't worth the time and effort."
Henry Rollins
Text of the day (paraphrased)
Me: How wonderful would it be to be happy without disappointing others...
Him: I don't care about disappointing others, I just want to be happy.
And then I read the above quote and am reminded, deeply, we need to focus on the greater tale. We need to focus on the bigger picture and truer story. Wealth is not found in money, just as beauty is not found in the physical... these are illusions.
Time to wear the reality ring and go.
