Living in a bubble...

Many of us live in a bubble and don't even know or appreciate it.

Generally, it's a “good” bubble, where everything is routine, orderly, predictable and close to perfection. This has to do with our place of residence, our activity or lack-thereof, and in my case, retirement plain and simple.

If you're like me, we're no longer confronted to the ups and downs of the work place, the stress and the miseries that are part of it. So, it's easy to ignore the world at large, the rush hour traffic, the appointments as well as all the disappointments that come with a full day of labor.

Is bubble living good or bad?

It certainly can be cozy, but also fraught with danger of giving us a false impression that all is well, or not getting the true picture of the world we live in.

This is why getting out of our bubble every now and then, isn't not just a welcome change, it's a necessity of life.
