See! He doesn't just draw cartoons. Tim Kreider's terrific "Opinionator" essay in the NYTimes. The 'Busy' Trap. According to recent studies on "What do the dying most regret?" (written by long-time-time hospice worker), he's on to something. Only one gripe. I wish he'd chosen a catchier title (maybe what he calls his syndicated column, "The Pain: When will it end?" Gorgeous writing. (I didn't know the NYTimes had an "Anxiety" desk! Modern philosophers may submit commentary) http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/06/30/the-busy-trap/?smid=fb-share |
