Yesterday we locked upon the plight of Jack, the "non-master" of anything. Jack, it was thought, was sadly reeling in mediocrity due to his lack of mastery. But Jack doesn't see it that way at all.

You see Jack has all he needs and he is extremely content and fulfilled in his life because he enjoys the fruits of many pursuits. He enjoys a balanced life and many pleasures and can't understand how anyone could dedicate so much of their life to any one thing while they miss out on so many of life's other experiences.
