a sea of possibility

sometimes the only way to remember that i’m actually living in nyc is to look up at the skyline and see the empire state building towering over midtown... you’d be surprised how easy it is to lose sight of the “bigger picture” and the world around you without even trying. given the speed at which we race through each day no wonder everything is a blur...

that said i think there was a moment of clarity today. i caught a glimpse of the unifying structure in the tort system and i could kind of see where the prof has been trying to lead us for the past 3 months... and while that sounds pretty trivial (i’m the first to admit) its actually quite satisfying. these rules and principles make up a system that we rely on to ensure our personal security everyday: studying these rules and analyzing the burden and benefits they create can be fascinating. and while i’m not sure my class has been fascinating per se, i think there is a great deal of potential here to delve into this topic and be lost in a sea of possibility.
