It's a beautiful thing. That we choose. Know it or not. A wild and difficult freedom. "Create your life" - the world says, every morning, every minute. The power we wield over our own experience, our own consciousness is incomprehensibly enormous.
During a recent visit, a relative (upon observing the dog's great joy in greeting him) remarked, "Wouldn't it be great to be so stupid that everything made you happy?" Spoken like a true intellectual. And an appropriately miserable one.
Saying nothing, I had the following internal response:
"Wouldn't it be great to be so wise that everything made you happy?"
Either way.
Drink deeply.
