Yesterday was my birthday and I just turned… older. Unless you’re a child anxious to grow up or a senior looking to break a century, most people don’t actually look forward to the irreversible accumulation of years. It means slower metabolism, wrinkles, hair loss in places you should have hair, and hair growth in places you should not have hair.

So I started taking golf lessons recently. My first thought was, “My god, this is an expensive hobby.” My second thought was, “Good god, this is an expensive hobby!” And my third thought was, “Why am I so bad at this?!” I had no idea I could actually be so inept at something at which I thought I was fairly adept.

That is when you become aware of one final need, a need that is inherently selfless. It may not be necessary to bring happiness to your life, but it is certainly necessary to give it meaning.
