HAPPY

In the short story The Student by Anton Chekhov a young lad tells two women the narrative of Peter's denial of Christ three times. The older woman cries while the story is being told because the young lad (the student) was giving life to the Biblical story so much as to see and feel him as Peter himself. On his way home, a mysterious sense of happiness pervades the young lad's person, due apparently to his newly-found ability to establish a connection between the past and the present thru his own words.

Aristotle said that the intellect, more than anything else, is the man. The aforementioned student, at the exact point of his epiphany, probably exemplifies that man who experiences happiness in the spirit of enlightenment. A discovering, knowedgeable man, at the point of his discovery and gaining knowledge, is his very own nirvana.

Be happy. Be the man.
