I met a new friend of mine at a local bar in Tel Aviv on Saturday and I had a hard time not talking about the stock market and where the world is heading too. When my friends from NYC came by to have a couple drinks with us, I had nothing to say but to buy gold.
My Israeli friend was non plussed by the situation and told me that this will be a non financial conversation which is fine but what to talk about? Also, he implied the shallowness of my focus and called into question what the hell I spend most of my time doing. I believe there is truth to this matter since I do get obsessed about certain things to the detriment of other items that are important to anyone's life. But at the end of the night, he was trying to convince the New Yorker to buy gold while I was talking to his wife about life and starting all over.
Flashforward to today where I am walking on Dizengoff admiring the beautiful girls, stopping in every book shop, but not picking up any new clothes for spring nor striking up conversations with any eligible girl; instead I'm always accosted by people who need charity.
I guess I always focus on what's important or the loftier things in life or what the price of coffee is in Brazil, but the truth is it's the simple things in life I crave and afraid of getting...like happiness? satisfaction? success?
