This Is Water Reaction

exposition and reaction to David Foster Wallaces This is Water This speech was clear and direct to the point, especially both parables David told. He did not force his ideas he merely explained his realizations and suggested actions. It is how he said it though, that made me want to listen to him more. I sthrongly agree with the suggestion of taking the spotlight away from ourselves and our misfortunes and pointing it towards other things and people we encounter. Some people are really egocentric to care about others and their problems (which are probably worse than theirs).This type of self-centred persuasion affects our mood in a way where it may dampen our happiness. His speech raised my awareness on the arrogance of some people, and of mine too at times. He talked about learning to think, learning to keep what you think. I feel that that is a step close to being a more positive and riant person. If you submit yourself to negativity, it go out ruin you. We have choices its ju st a matter of making the secure one not only for you but for everyone involved.What struck me the most was what he called the Capital T justness which is what matters life before death. His message was to not stick to a routine just because you are afraid(predicate) of change. Do not be dull, be alive. The major lesson I took from his speech was to enjoy every feel life offers us to make the most of our lives instead of living in the fast lane which will cause us to forget what and how things happened. Our lives are limited and so we shouldnt make the least of it by worrying about mishaps and troubles. If we do, then that is truly a life wasted.
