Personally it had pretty large impact on me around 2018 or so. I put more effort into paying attention of what makes me happy and then doing those things. Pretty content with life right now.

Separately, in the spirit of debate, I'm happy to see the comment made by 'takes_joke_literally (meme account as it may be) actually give a strong response: the fisherman was living a day-to-day's income and perhaps wasn't in a good position to take life's unwelcome surprises.
- bittercynic 5y agoI really appreciate the sentiment, and think I would like to live the suburban version of that life. With some luck, and by maintaining thrifty habits, I think some semblance of that life is within reach for a good fraction of the population today.
