Last week I had lunch with a friend and the topic of how to live a colorful life came up. He made an insightful point that I would like to share with my dear readers. He said there are at least 3 avenues that one can live a colorful life.
1) Personal experience: We have our own life experience first hand.
2) Friends and family: Through our interaction with them, in particular when they share their experience with us, our lives are enriched.
3) Books, films, music and other art forms: Through our imagination and senses, we can experience different dimensions and aspects of life.
