I love fountain pens. And I've always wanted a Montblanc Pen. They've always been too expensive and I forget to request one for my birthday. Now, for the 140th anniversary of the birth of Mahatma Gandhi, Montblanc has released the Mahatma Gandhi Limited Edition 241 pen, which is 18K gold and shows Gandhi on the salt march of July 1930. It costs $23,000. That puts things in perspective again. A lot of things actually.
1. consumering is disgusting and Gandhi would be horrified
2. my wanting of things is the symptom of emptiness
3. if I had that pen I could finish a Pulitzer winning novel
Gandhi himself wrote with pencils, wearing them down to a stub to illustrate that everything should be used to its fullest extent.
