“Nothing in life,” Winston Churchill once wrote, “is so exhilarating as to be shot at without result.”
Though I’m a Churchill fan, and though no one’s ever shot at me with or without result, here I must disagree with him. Falling in love, and having that person love you, is surely exhilarating. An inheritance of a couple million dollars or a big-time winning lottery ticket might also induce euphoria.
