Author -pedestrian guest of Red Bluf f firemen few days When Leonard Day, San Francisco author and pedestrian, arrived in Red Bluff from the north today he had walked a distance of 10,332 miles beginning the second lap of his two-year journey around the "rim" of the United States. During his stay here he is the guest of the city fire department. Day left San Francisco Nov. 20, 1921. Some time prior to then he had submitted to his publishers a manuscript of "The Unsolicited Generosity of the American People," for which he asked $6500. The story was refused as impossible and unreasonable. To show it was neither Day signed a contract to walk around the borders of the United States. — Dec. 10, 1923 Superficial Each of us values life based on what we have lived and, more importantly, what we have overcome. Tragedy, life lessons and otherwise hard stuff. As I mentioned in an earlier column, hard is relative to what you have experienced and has been a part of your reality. Your hard, my hard and someone else's hard vary by degrees, but I have found that there is a big difference between experiences and the resulting lifestyles that come after something hard. When someone faces what I would call an epic, life-changing moment, there is a resulting humbling, an appreciation for life and a recognition of the superficial. Such events, whether they are tragedies, doing work that makes you more globally conscious, being witness to a miracle, or otherwise making the realization that the ego is not what matters most, will change your perspective about your place in the world. It wakes you up that life isn't about status, your clothing brand, your car make and model or the excess in your bank account. Up until and unless someone faces an issue of epic proportions, they tend to be self-centered, asking life questions such as 'what about me?' or expecting life to be fair or that the goal in life is to get as much as you can, financially, or otherwise. Generally, people who haven't experienced many setbacks are driven by external things for validation. That is not a bad thing, it is just a different thing than what some one else may covet.
