This
is the way that most people in our culture are choosing to live their
lives. And like me, they
feel the external pressure to succeed and do and accumulate, but it is
too much, and even though they (we) choose it for themselves, at some
point it feels like being on a forced march, like doing it because you
have to, not because you want to. It
doesn’t bring you peace, comfort or joy.
I want to be happy. I
want a simple life, a good life.
