Law professor William Ian Miller describes oh so
beautifully the beauty of living without hope (“May You Have My Luck”). Reading his piece reminded me of a frequently
evoked Bulgarian proverb: “Mnogo dobro ne e na dobro.” Which translates loosely
as: “Too much good fortune doesn’t bode well.” And which conveys better than a thousand
books and articles Bulgaria’s status as, according to #TheEconomist, the unhappiest place on Earth as proportionate to
GDP (“The Rich, the Poor and #Bulgaria”).
