This Is Water book cover
Beautiful gift from my friend @kyle_tman ... I’ve listened more than 100 times to the audio (easy to find: google “DFW this is water”) each time learning something, even incrementally, new and now I’ll add this method of consumption to one of the most important speeches ever given (or at least ever heard by me...). Thank you, Kyle.

I don't recall who said it--perhaps Gabor Mate, but the sentiment is also shared by the words of David Foster Wallace in "This is Water"--we are ALL addicts. This realization is one component to the humility we need to get through the day without being completely self-absorbed.

And David Foster Wallace has talked about this so eloquently in his talk, which is one of my favorite talks, This Is Water. Every experience we have is through our own eyes.
