I do not care about happiness simply because I believe that joy

I am thankful when I am hungry because then I know that when I eat, the food will taste better. Life has taught me that my true contentment rests in hope, and the pleasure itself is secondary. It is self-awareness, not happiness, that maintains peace.

is something worth fighting for. : Criss Jami

  He has to learn the game at a different speed at safety. I love how he gets at it. He’s young, and he’s hungry. He’ll be a Pro Bowler before it’s all said and done. Probably next year, in fact.
