There are always things to examine. What's great is not feeling that I have to refuse any of them. Maybe no good from a PR perspective, but from the point of view of everyday life, it keeps things interesting.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I like examining the ordinary, and by doing so, one hopefully reveals the extraordinary nature within.
As I approach the end of my life, I have even less and less interest in examining what have got to be very superficial evaluations or opinions about the significance of one's life or one's work. I was never given to it when I was healthy, and I am less given to it now.
It is always good to explore the stuff you don't agree with, to try and understand a different lifestyle or foreign worldview. I like to be challenged in that way, and always end up learning something I didn't know.
I look at life, the experiences I've had, at the human condition, the dynamics between people, the news (world news), and draw from the compelling realities all around us.
I'm constantly asking for alternative views on most things that come to me.
When you spend a year or two researching a subject, and you're still fascinated by it, that's a good indicator that what you're doing will appeal to others, as well.
The interesting thing is always to see if you can find a fact that will change your mind about something, to test and see if you can.
I'm curious about everything. Even subjects that don't interest me.
I believe the life of every person is worthy of scrutiny, containing its own secrets and dramas.
I don't analyse things, and I don't look back. I can think forward - but only about my family. I don't look outside that and certainly don't care what anyone else thinks.
