Center - focus


What's central to your life?

Which people?

How did you determine this?

Or them?

In this culture, by which I mean New York, the central focus should be your job, your children, or your significant other. Pretty much everything else won't fly.

It can't be friendship. Friendship isn't romantic, and it's not acceptable to priviledge a relationship that's neither sexual nor parental.

Being single isn't really accepted either. We might say single blessedness, but certainly don't mean it.

Most of us don't really trust art or artists.

Hobbies can't be the focus, because this is New York, and money rules.
