The weather was beautiful and temperate - the kind I would have loved to play cricket in all day when I was younger! On the divider of the road, a homeless young guy was selling newspapers. His walk was fresh and defiant. As if he was daring the world. Then I looked at the guy in the adjacent car. His face was burdened with ennui. He was off to a daily grind. While the homeless had every moment bring a new wonder, the guy in the car had predictability asserted on his life. We strive to succeed to make our lives \"stable\".  And predictable. Predictability is the bed partner of ennui. Freshness to life unfortunately loses out in this battle. It would be very wrong of me to say that lack of money brings \"freshness\" necessarily. It is the frame of mind. A frame of mind which welcomes the unknown with a child-like innocence and wonder. Wonder to be curious. Curious of the next moment."}
