Congratulation to the UK on the 10 years leaving EU! Great to see how everything is just flourishing over there.
Have you been? Or you just looking in from your phone?

954962 -- The Long Way Around
Ask most people what they're working toward and you'll get get an answer like: "I'm trying to become a {insert profession}." Or they'll tell you they're trying to get appointed to some impressive committee or position, become a millionaire, get discovered, become famous, whatever.
Now you ask a couple more questions, such as "Why are you doing that?" and you find at the very core of it, people want freedom, they want happiness, and they want respect of their peers.
We put an immense effort and expense into chasing things that are simple and straightforward to acquire. It's as if we prefer to spend years building a complicated Rube Goldberg machine instead of just reaching out and picking what we want. It's like looking all over for your glasses and then realizing they were on your head the whole time.
Freedom? That's easy. It's in your choices.
Happiness? That's easy. It's in your choices.
Respect of you peers? That too is in the choices you make.
And all of that is right in front of you. No need to take the long way to get there.
"You could enjoy this very moment all the things you are praying to reach by taking the long way around--if you'd stop depriving yourself of them." -- Marcus Aurelius, 12.1
