人前 。人后

The crowds were still there, before and after my dinner. And I want to park myself with a more peculiar position or more precisely, I'd say to eye for different perspective. When people often judge a book by its appearance, I'd rather view their life stories from the core. Just like a backbone that supports, quietly. Consider all of the things that culture tells us will make us happy like a new car, new home, college degree or more money etc. However, these are all short-term happiness where the level of pleasure will lead us to the hedonic treadmill that I've shared a bit in my previous blog post [ link ]. Eventually, the newness wears off and here we start to linger again. Living with purpose, what I saw from the creative duo who performed on the street tonight. Full of zest, full of energy; the fundamental for my new year resolution.
