How many would close a business because it’s going too well? Hardly, however there are some things more important than popularity. For me, it’s the validation of authenticity and no one can answer that but ourselves. Being pigeon holed by others is their prerogative.

The ability to momentarily reflect on things that matter can save years of agony. Human beings are terrible at thinking deeply or considering a better way of living.

Human beings have a fascination with the existence of God, the after life and the meaning of life beyond instinct.
