Episode 27: Quality Over Quantity

Less is more, when more would mean a dilution of the essential advantage of the thing. This is very common in nature, throughout our lives; where simplicity is beautiful and full to overflowing with quiet richness. Why give a soliloquy when a sentence will do?

Who lived more, Jimi Hendrix or the centenarian who never let himself laugh or cry at the intensity of experience; who carefully delayed his burial by decades at the cost of loving the now? There is a balance in life, and to cultivate the quality of each thing is close to its fulcrum.
