People’s surroundings impact them a lot, if you’ll pardon me for uttering such a platitude. N, for instance, tells me that he’s been feeling exhausted but has no idea why.
“What do you mean, why?” I say. “You haven’t been on vacation for two years. Of course, you are exhausted.”
“But people are supposed to be able to go for years without a vacation and not feel tired,” N says completely seriously.
I can guarantee to you that even a couple of years ago he wouldn’t have said something like this.
Cultural influences are a big deal, folks.
