...Said to be happy are those
who pursue ideals and conquer
their space from the smallest
and most simple of all things.
People who are happy with their
choices, and others who have
learnt to enjoy theirs. If am I
a difficult person when it comes
to taste, I make no apologies. I
have an eclectic appetite for
ideas, which tends to oscillate
between innovation and common
sense -not in exact order.
Tastes change as we grow older.
I presume as we seek new
information in accordance with
our need for a certain
understanding. This was clear in
my twenties when National
Geographic was -to my mind- the
best magazine in the world. So
were Esquire, The Economist,
The New Yorker, Skeptical
Inquirer, New York and Harper's,
all conveniently displaying
articles that catered to my
needs at that point in time.
...Until I found Monocle
Magazine.
To
describe Monocle precisely would
be to explain something between
Foreign Policy and
Vanity Fair. Providing a
globalist perspective on
international affairs, culture
and design for wealthy and
cosmopolitan readers, or those
who aspire to become so.
Of which I can be either, or
none. |
