I’ve had the same supper for 10 years

This guy is a saint. To have that kind of contentment and peace is the goal of most religions. Honestly I'd like to hear more of his life, would love to talk to him.

How incredibly small-minded.

I respect people who've tried something and decided it's not for them. But to never even try a different kind of food? I suspect it's less that he's found what he likes and more that he's scared he'd find out he actually liked something else better, and has wasted those 10 years.

There is value in finding your place in life and being content with it. Yes, you might be able to change it, perhaps to conform to more traditional standards of 'success', but why bother if you're happy as you are?

If we humans optimize by happiness, then we should have nothing but envy for a life like Wilf Davies leads.

“ By not leaving my apartment for a year except for shopping” this is entirely foreign to me. Where do you live?!

A buddy of mine has rice and beans nearly every dinner though he knows how to cook variations so it’s a surprisingly tasty diet.

I’m surprised the guy in the article could go decades without eating any veggies but his diet has clearly worked for him.

The strokes could just be genetics and/or old age catching up.

Well said.
