JD Salinger died
My friend in Stockholm informed me per email that after Kurt Vonnegut and John Updike now also the third author of my Holy Trinity, J.D. Salinger, died. Salinger’s option for a reclusive life was also an option for life in stress-FREEDOM.
I read that the sales of ”The Catcher in the Rye” is soaring and I am wondering whether reading about Holden Caulfield, Franny and Zooey will start a trend toward self-inspection among today’s teenagers and youngsters, mostly busy with raising their status through the acquisition of gadgets.
Epicurean Happiness Guidance – for some: a cold lima bean
I have sent my Epicurean Happiness Guidance “From Pain to Pleasure: The Proven Pathway to Happiness” to 26 people I know and appreciate FREE for their personal usage only. I told them that I would be very glad if they could give me some feedback about how they liked it and whether it was useful for them. Six of them thanked for it. 20 of them ignored it.
Mentioning this to a friend of mine he reminded me that people never value what they don’t pay for. Besides, these people were not a targeted audience, because they were not acutely in pain.
In the words of J.D. Salinger I must have acted “in the spirit of Matthew Salinger, age one, urging a luncheon companion to accept a cool lima bean” when they were satiated.
He asked me whether I learned my lesson and I am still wondering what lesson.
