RE: The Perfect Weekend: The Simple Things Really Are The Best.

Yes, life is enough. It is the vested interests grasping after 'shiny things' that have us running around trying to be better 'consumers'. Life is enough - Guinness certainly helps though 🍺

Spot on @richardingate. As John Lennon said, life is what happens to you when you're busy making other plans. I have always found truth in that. Thanks very much for your comment and contribution.

This whole 'idea' (fact?) is why I am moving away from more effortful approaches towards a way of understanding life called the Three principles - I will be writing about that soon. If 'life is what happens to our plans' , as you so rightly say, it makes sense to still make plans but to hold them more lightly!

Really looking forward to reading your thoughts on this concept @richardingate. An effortful existance is a good way to describe the high overhead way of life we all seem to strive towards and suffer from simultaneously.
