We are addicted to rating ourselves. Glibly summing up the event, the result, our lives. We are a numerical species, we use numbers to measure everything. The most popular numbers we use to rate ourselves are:
Amount of our money
Number of offspring
Numbrt of friends
Years of marriage
Time at same residence
Square footage of house
Job longevity
Number of trips
And they all add up to...? Nothing.
Try these instead:
Percentage of each day your soul is at peace
The number of times you smile each day without a joke having been told
Works for me.
ucks! The ups and downs of life.
