I don’t know if it’s our culture or our nature, but we seem hardwired to not be anarchists.
It’s astonishing to me that 47 people would willingly remain trapped in a grounded airplane overnight simply to oblige some ill-conceived regulations.

Anyone want to confirm that India is an answer to the doldrums?
Yann Martel writes that “a stint in India will beat the restlessness out of any living creature.”
I want a second opinion.

Memory loss makes you rehash conversations, then it makes you rehash the rehashing.
When I tell people “I’ve probably already said this,” I’m thinking, “And I’ve probably already said that I’ve probably already said this.”

Do difficult times make you more or less empathetic? For me the answer is both.
Some struggles I’ve faced make me more understanding of others.
But sometimes I feel like: “I got over it; why can’t you?”
