Listening to the Sam Harris Podcast with Geoffrey Miller..who I subscribe to and do a monthly contribution towards. I am grateful for great conversations. It is a rapidly diminishing art.
As usual sitting in office with nothing to do (work related). Project got over and not yet assigned to a new one.
P pinged me a couple of days back, telling me he got hired at Infy. Very glad to hear it.
I am seriously hooked to coconut milk now. It's way better and healthier than cow milk as we stand today.
Every time time I see poor abandoned cows on the road, I wish I was a RICH farmer who could take care of all these cows and give them land to move and graze in!
When I don't have a specific task to accomplish I browse news sites. Today's headline is a lady designer called Kate Spade, who took her own life at the age of 55. It makes me think. Why do people who have so much to savor, to fall back on and presumably have a sense of maturity and been through enough turbulence in life, and who have experience to help them sail through tougher times, just give up?
Again, the question is so ignorant, because really everyone has a unique life, and while others are entertained by observing it, the one living it is feeling and enduring it.
Still it niggles at one's mind. Why would someone with a young growing girl, a lot of money, a brand and a recognition of talent, education and means, and no known disease want to take their life? what happened?
Death is fascinating. We all know we all will die. When someone has things you think you won't mind having yourself, takes their own life, you wonder why. But Natural.
