One of my favorite things about breaks from classes is extra time for reading. For a while now, I've chosen a famous novel to conquer each break, and this past Christmas I read "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley, and it has been itching my brain ever since.
"Actual happiness always looks pretty squalid in comparison with the over-compensations for misery. And, of course, stability isn't nearly so spectacular as instability. And being contented has none of the glamour of a good fight against misfortune, none of the picturesqueness of a struggle with temptation, or a fatal overthrow by passion or doubt. Happiness is never grand."
- Aldous Huxley, Brave New World, Ch. 16
What if your lot in life is to be normal?
"The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy." (Psalm 126:3)
