We quickly learn that many people--most of them, in fact--lead lives that are utterly different from our own, they see the world very differently than we do. I'm always grateful for the huge advantages that sheer chance and an accident of birth have landed in my lap; we're so fortunate to live where we do. To internalize those advantages--"it's *my* doing; *I'm* responsible for my good fortune--seems incredibly myopic. It falls to us to take advantage of what is available to us (and I fall very far short on that accounting), but so much of it is happenstance.wstachourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12447198404608861357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15935045.post-72441625975328857302014-01-27T21:32:00.877-06:002014-01-27T21:32:00.877-06:00You seem to have the perfect synthesis of vocation...You seem to have the perfect synthesis of vocation and vacation. It's nice to see someone that appreciates the cool opportunities to explore that you get, while being smart and humble enough to understand that it doesn't mean you are better than those you see in those places (like I fear your co-workers do).dbackdadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10700991588554336491noreply@blogger.com
