Don’t get me wrong, I don’t always feel happy. But as the years go by, I become happier with my–far from perfect–self. I daresay, I become a bit wiser.
One proof of that is my frequent arrival at the same conclusion as Plato’s, “I only know that I know nothing.” I realize that no matter how much life experience I gain, I’ll never become a pro at living.
And here comes the “happy” part – I don’t want to become a pro.
I want to engage in life as a favorite pastime, not a profession. I want to remain a novice, humble, and hungry for knowledge. I want to be a constant devotee and admirer of life.
In other words, I want to be an amateur.
Live for the Love of it,
Sasha A. Palmer (aka Happy)
