Advancing Cases of Mental Illness in Universities
 
We discover who we are—
our strengths and weaknesses
—by interacting with other people.
 
How can we make eye contact
when we are constantly looking
at the backs of our thumbs?

I am interacting...and I like this a good deal. It is not puffed up with its own importance as an acutely observed meme, but has an effective sadness in it which reflects how many of us feel but had failed to notice. Whenever we discover a modern truth it relieves the anguish which gets in to us all and makes us agitated but without knowing why.
I am inclined to go with todd on the second line but only because I am unsure that strengths and weaknesses are as important as we think they are in others. There is more to it, but this sets me thinking about what we lose when we lose eye contact.
Very piquant, dale.
Best,
