Hello Giuliano,

I hear you and I also share the pain, but with age I learnt that most things in life are compromises. It'a tricky but it's the soul of life.

All day reading or all day with friends?. A compromise

Financial Independence or die with zero? A compromise.

And don't get it wrong, each one of us needs a different compromise. And even a different compromise at different life stages.

Life is awesome.

Beautiful commentary. I very much agree, though I generally utilize the phrase "everything is a trade-off".

Indeed we all need different compromises and each life stage suppose different ones.

The latter statement is just 100% true, which is why none of this leads to an undervaluation of how great this is.

Thank you for sharing Carles!

The urge to focus on reading reminds me of this piece, which mentions the importance of balance as well.

Wow. I just went over it. What a wonderful piece you've shared, thank you a lot Michael. It really helped put things in perspective. I need to meditate further on the matter, but it was those kinds of things what I wanted people to point out. Thank you and best of luck!
