Busy busy blob

GREAT excerpt that makes fun of American busyness. Mediated pgs 179-181.
..."Nowadays, in our more competitive schools at least, twelve-year-old have appointment books and family lives are scheduled as if they were presidential campaigns going into the last week before an election"

GREAT excerpt about the driftedness after college 182-183

About trying to find your keys "205"

Now I think it's interesting...that the multiplicity of options in the "blob" makes us have to invent ourselves. The focus is on us. Invention is a possibility. We "flatter ourselves" but is it really our fault? How much of self invention is necessary? Biblical? Harmful?
