“This Side of Paradise” by F. Scott Fitzgerald tells the fictional story of Amory Blaine, born with a silver spoon in his mouth; heir to wealth, has good looks and sophistication. The story is set in the early 20th Century in the northeastern United States. After traveling the country with his mother, Amory attends St. Regis prep school and, even though lazy in his studies, manages somehow to have his pick between Harvard, Yale and Princeton Universities (he chooses Princeton).
The famous ending “I know myself, but that is all-” did not resonate with me. After serving in the military, traveling to fourteen countries and have loved and lost, at the age of 25 I started to realize one thing – that I don’t know anything.
