We live our lives practically, tending to the necessities, seeking convenience. The time left over we spend on the pleasantries of life. We work hard, then we play hard.
We design our lives around usefulness and usability, then try to tack on a little desirability at the end of the process.
This cannot continue.
We must expect much, much more.
If you want to feel content with your life, avoid me. I will sow the seeds of discontent in you so that you will have no rest until you love your life and want to outlive your life.
Loving your life means your life needs no justification. You look out at the world and just love.
I have no respect for the ideal of painless comfort.
