I believe the “foolish man” Openheim is talking about is the person who seeks happiness through the “happenings” in his or her life…been there done that and have the stomach ulcer to prove it. If you find yourself needing to buy happiness or making friends for happiness or being popular for happiness or simply…

It is pretty easy to tell where a person is on their “learning curve” by checking out the books they read. In all honesty I really don’t like to read but I love to learn…who knows…in hopes of maybe I will live forever. 🙂 In essence the quality and depth of our life is…
