I had a nice convo with S over mussels and beer at monk's today. We talked about bubbles, and how JC life was a huge bubble, where all we cared about was school related. CCAs, grades, getting into a good college etc etc. Life was so much simpler back then. Now, there's all sort of things to think about- financial crises, joblessness, control issues in government, and so much more! Sometimes I feel that thinking more makes the world feel bleaker.. but that is not an excuse to think any less.. we might want to be in a bubble, to be sheltered from the realities of life, but they will still be there, whether we think about them or not. So why not think about them, and perhaps, we can make a difference.
