Bill Bryson often says it like none else.
And isn’t that true? We rush to make life easier, happier, more fulfilled. Yet, in the hustle, we forget to pause and ask if it’s all meaningful.
What if we shifted focus?
What if we sought less, simplified more, and made space for what truly counts? Comfort and happiness are fleeting; meaning endures. Perhaps it’s time to pause and ponder.
A good life is many things. Friends. Family. A roof above to keep you safe.
But sometimes, that very roof brings walls with it. And walls can become a cage.
Look at the rabbits in a zoo. They have food, shelter, and safety. Yet, behind those bars, do they feel free?
It makes you wonder—what’s the balance between comfort and freedom? Between safety and truly living?
A good life isn’t just about what you have. It’s about how you feel. Free to roam. Free to dream. Free to be.
Sometimes, we need to step outside the cages we build for ourselves. Even if they look like homes.
