“One Day, I Couldn’t See Right. My Life Hasn’t Been the Same Since”

If only this could be taught to each of us, every day, wow, we’d be a better world.  Frank Bruni’s heartfelt, empathetic writing in “One Day, I Couldn’t See Right. My Life Hasn’t Been the Same Since” is so poignant.  If there’s one thing you read out of this month’s issue, make this it.  “The paradox of my own situation — I was outwardly unchanged but roiling inside — made me newly alert to a fundamental truth: There’s almost always a discrepancy between how people appear to us and what they’re actually experiencing; between their public gloss and private mess; between their tally of accomplishments — measured in money, rankings, ratings and awards — and a hidden, more consequential accounting.”
