Meaningful Returns

That’s the interesting title here, and the article under it is basically about how brutal the sport of water polo is, and how tough it is to officiate the brutality because so much of it happens under water.

The same is true in life. That sentence I just typed is really trite, but I mean how else is there to say it? The problem with Keeping Up With The Joneses aka the “hedonic treadmill” aka Artificial Poverty aka having no idea what Enough means for us–the problem with all that is we start making these comparisons and judgments, we start trying to officiate the money game, and the whole time we have no idea what’s going on under water, except in the water right around us. And we never will.

It’s best to just focus on how we play the game ourselves.
