The day started very pleasantly as I noticed new buds sprouting on the trees, adding to the charm of the other colorful blossoms and flowers. Whenever I take the time to enjoy the natural beauty that surrounds us, my problems with depression and other negative feelings seem to diminish or disappear entirely. Mother Nature doing what any good mother would do: lend a helping hand.
On the other hand, we have the Spectrum in Irvine. This upscale cluster of shops, stores and kiosks is a world of plastic and glitz. Very interesting to wander through and gaze at the items, but no one in their right mind could mistake this for reality. Customers are being sold an illusion. And for some folks, if the illusion is cheap enough to escape reality, they’re willing to buy.
