This was really lovely, and you’ve gifted me a word I’ve never used before: begrudgery! I’m against begrudgery, by god, and I want it on a fucking t-shirt! How would that go: “Misers against begrudgery”? “Don’t begrudge me my begrudgery”? I’m just fooling, but it’s a lovely word. I really appreciated the writing in this one, some real lovely stretches, but the overall idea—be happy for others, don’t shackle yourself to goals that will make you unhappy—is right on.

I certainly don't begrudge the usage. I always thought it would be a good name for quite a grumpy substack. Thanks for the kind words!
Beautiful writing as always.
Thanks Ned!
