Most men love to play the game of cards, balls, clubs, rackets, boards, suits, sticks, wheels, rods, bows and arrows and guns.
With me, the mental freak that I am, rightly or wrongly, I only love to play with ideas. Ideas, no doubt, have tremendously encouraged me to examine my own life as I found it worth living.
The love of playing with ideas seemed more glorious, incomparably, than the lust of the ways of the flesh and the dross of the world. For my part, I hardly wanted millions. I only wanted answers to my questions! “Seek ye first the good things of the mind,” Bacon admonishes us, “and the rest will either be supplied or its loss will not be felt.” For me, mental health is the best kind of wealth.
