This was a very worthwhile interview to read thank you. It brings up a lot of things I’ve been wrestling with lately and good to know I’m certainly not singular. Particularly the part about Americans constantly pursuing happiness. I’ve been very critical of people who, for instance, choose to drive a giant truck, because it’s bad for the environment and an eyesore, but if it’s their only source of happiness then how can I begrudge that? Life is not easy and I should consider myself lucky that I’ve found happiness in very simple things or nothings.
