| Jul 13, 2024 at 14:10 | comment | added | Eggy | I think you're right. I almost said this in my answer, but I decided that many careers and most of modern life are a struggle for inner and outer balance and peace. I think the real challenge is not to "get everything done," but to simplify life such that we have a sense of fulfilling our real mission and satisfaction and happiness. The acceptance you allude to is important. You remind me of Robin Williams in the film "As Good As It Gets." He's sitting in his psychiatrist's waiting room and he looks at the other depressed patients and says, "What if this is as good as it gets?" ;-) | |
