1. I'm 26. Canadian. Male.
2. I have, up until this point, been a relentless and unapologetic hedonist.
3. I'm agnostic, which is to say a lost but not altogether forgotten sheep.
4. I want the Good Life, but have no firm notion of what it might entail.
What follows is my pursuit, in a variety of forms and directions, of that elusive ideal. What constitutes a good, wholesome life? How does a person navigate the slough of health and welfare information without becoming lost, confused, jaded? Where does spirituality fit in, when society is leaning further and further toward the secular, and those who do "practice" come by it more as a hobby or a trend than an all-encompassing way of life? More than anything: where does a person get his or her values (which affect everything from what we eat to how we relate to one another) if not in a bible or a Bagavadghita?
Those are the questions; or some of them, anyway. Where this will take me -- what it will make me do and not do, try and try to avoid -- remains to be seen, but I'll be chronicling the adventure as I go along for your benefit or (and this is perhaps more likely) amusement. Stick around...
