How Did We Get Here?
This is the final links post of October. Time flies and I seem to note these ending often. It’s arbitrary. Hours, days, months: it’s just a way for us to measure this abstract concept. We ascribe great meaning to these intervals. Birthdays, anniversaries, events past and future are all tied to this timeline and if we miss or forget something we are ostracized or must deal with hurt feelings. Maybe this is just coming from me reading the book ‘Four Thousand Weeks’ by Oliver Burkeman. We’re not going to figure this out today–let’s look at some links.
