All's well that...

abbreviated airport post
Melissa Pierce, in her piece continually asks the question: Is the planned life even worth living? Since I found Melissa and her questions, I have been continuously pondering this and other related questions. I have made her questions my own. My answer, especially today is: Not only is it not worth living, it doesn't exist and if one is delusional to believe it does, one has precluded oneself from real and lasting happiness.

I have most definitely perverted her central theme to fit my life, but I believe that the question is universal and the theme even more so. My life in perpetual beta is just that, beta. Perfection is the end of growing, the end of learning. In software, beta is unfinished. In life, beta is life being lived.
