Quote, Unquote
Last night I finally cracked open a book I wasn’t specifically thrilled to have received as a gift a few birthdays back. Early on, halfway down page eight I came across a passage that made me stop. I re-read it again and closed the book halfway to just think.
It’s good when books do that. Here’s what got me thinking.
Materialism isn’t noble, it is perhaps downright ridiculous. But really, I never feel so bored, boring, and uninteresting as when there’s nothing on Earth that I have the desire to buy.

Well, I guess the Buddhist would say that the desire to be “interesting” is also making you miserable.
