I humbly concede to your obviously intense knowledge of the condition, the regions so clubbed and of the unlucky existences therein

In reply to:

Very interesting perception. Of Aristotle's sixteen constituents of happiness, good luck was one.

i recognize my good luck (frequently) one comment that recently struck a chord with me--was that many americans get upset when their pets drink water from a toilet bowl.
over 75%of the people of world's population would be very happy to have a ready supply of water as clean as can be found in most amercian toilet bowls.(most of them are forced to drink water much more contaminated.)
everytime i open a tap (and i drink several glasses of water a day) i try to remember, what ever else might not be perfect in my life, i am extremely blessed and lucky in many, many ways.

Sprezzatura is the art of making the difficult look easy.
Sorry, but I've never seen a woman giving birth that could make that look easy and I have been present at many births.

Sprezzatura is the art of making the difficult look easy.That's bravura. Sprezzatura is making the impossible, possible ... if only for a moment, a startling, shimmering, mind-shearing, joyous, epiphany of a moment. A performance sublime That's "Sprezzatura" The best after that "Ehh, bravura". A single sprezz moment lasts a life-time. It could even make a life-time otherwise wasted, well-lived. A person can even die with sprezz. In fact, it's the only way to go.
