I was watching a programme on Jimi Hendrix, the guitarist, on the BBC recently and I was listening to his brother talking about parts of their life together when he said, "We thought life was fantastic, I didn't know we were poor."
I don't think that sentence requires any further explanation. It is brilliant in its simplicity. How often do we measure something inside us with some external reference in order to check that we are ok?
What do you think? Is life "fantastic", or do you check, for example, to see if you have enough money before you can answer that?
