> I wonder if Watterson was simply old-fashioned, or if he noticed something that nowadays we're less capable of noticing.

I think it's the latter. What we are often missing is time. Having time in general as well as taking time. The older I get, the more I inch towards what Watterson was talking about. A while ago, I decided that I should extrapolate from this inching towards the ideals he expressed and simply act as though I had arrived there.

It has definitely made me happier, but he is right, too, that it is harder (at least harder than just shrugging and taking the money). You certainly make less money, although it's often simply a case of money arriving more slowly, building up, sustaining you - instead of making it big quick and then seeing things taper off, always trying to hold on to that big success.

In the end all the things mean so infinitely more. I enjoy living a life where the main focus is meaning.

@unalone: You're dead and most people won't see your comments/reply.

That was my bad. I accidentally doubleposted a comment, and deleted one of the clones.

I have showdead:no and could see it just fine.
