Why?

The saying “Happiness is the exercise of vital powers, along lines of excellence, in a life affording them scope” is often (probably apocryphally) attributed to Aristotle.  In modern terms we might say, “Happiness comes from the the use of our inherent talents and abilities to pursue excellence in a context that gives them meaning.”   Take away any of the three elements, and “happiness” will collapse like a 2-sided triangle.

I write to pursue that apocryphal Aristotelian happiness.   I write about what I write about because, whatever it is, it interests me.
