I shared a little blurp of wisdom and humor with my small group tonight as we were working through a book that studies the philosophy and theology of happiness. It is a scene that I found spoke directly to me by two characters I cuddle up to enjoy every night at 9:30. (And come to discover Michelle loves as well!)
Frasier: Niles! Niles, get a hold of yourself! Stop it! Stop, stop. It's all right. You're no longer an awkward teenager, you're a renowned psychiatrist. He may have won a battle or two back in junior high school, but that's where he peaked. You won the war. You know the expression, 'Living well is the best revenge'?
Niles: It's a wonderful expression. Just don't know how true it is. Don't see it turning up in a lot of opera plots. 'Ludwig, maddened by the poisoning of his entire family, wreaks vengeance on Gunther in the third act by living well.'
Oh Niles, I chuckle at your antics every time.
