Journeying for a worthy magazine on the local high street is as unlikely as finding Atlantis, the Holy Grail, or Lord Lucan – according to Jonathan Self.
Jonathan Self, a renowned author and journalist, shares his thoughts on the importance of cherishing life's small pleasures in his latest article, titled "Jonathan Self: Gossip, Atheists, and the Cheating Husband Caught on His Own CCTV Cameras."
In the article, Self discusses his belief that happiness lies more in the small conveniences or pleasures that occur every day rather than in great pieces of good fortune that happen seldom. He recalls the joy of sitting on the terrace of Caffe Florian, watching the world go by, and inhaling the heady perfume of incense and wax polish from St Mark's Basilica. A plate of pasticcio di radicchio in a neighbourhood restaurant adds to the delightful experience.
Self also reflects on the disappearance of the people who worked the patchwork farms of Ireland and laments their loss. He suggests that we should place more value on the little things in life that please and delight, such as the sound of a burning log shifting, a favourite tune, or a reunion with an old friend - like the joyous return of a much-loved restaurant.
The article's title also references the sound of a burning log, echoing the German term "Sehnsucht," which means yearning or desire for the lost and unobtainable. Self, who has worked for various publications including our platform, Vanity Fair, You Magazine, The Guardian, The Daily Mail, and The Daily Telegraph, also delves into the topic of real friendship surviving separation, violently different opinions, and surprisingly shabby behaviour.
Interestingly, the magazine chosen by the author for this piece, "Positive News," is not typically the sort of publication one would expect to uplift and entertain on a long railway journey. However, Self's insightful and heartfelt words manage to do just that, reminding us to cherish the small moments that bring great joy.
Unfortunately, the newspaper edited by Jonathan Self was not found in the provided search results. Despite this, his work continues to inspire and captivate readers worldwide. The newsagency sector, however, is in a sorry state, with magazines often being sold out, a situation that may leave readers hoping for more of Self's thought-provoking articles in the future.
