RIP Mark.

Thanks for the reminder about his wife's birthday thread.

And what a reminder it is. I saw him not long before he ended it all, and TBH I was a little jealous of all I saw. Wife, family, awesome cars, and I assume an awesome financial picture. I found him to be warm and generous in person.

But here's the truth: happiness is an inside job. And all the things (and people) in the world can't fix that. Further, I was judging his "outsides", which was all I could see. We seldom ever know anyone else's "insides" other than our own. And when I compare that which I know to be flawed "inside" of me (my "insides") with someone else's "outsides" - well, that's a perfect recipe for unhappiness.

As I said, thanks for the reminder.

And yes, RIP Mark.
