Dear Kobe,
After I read David Foster Wallace’s and Jonathan Safran Foer’s essays I think you should too. Basically what they’re saying is we need to be aware of how we think. We have to think not so selfish, because we all think we’re the center of the universe but we’re not. We don’t even try to think like this, but shit we do it anyways. When I first came to your house, I asked where YOUR bathroom was and you said “MY bathroom is over here.” That’s not just your house, you share it with your family, so who are you to say MY bathroom. You never thought of it like that huh? That’s what Wallace was saying, he said we are super selfish and after I read this I couldn’t blame him because I felt so shitty and selfish I needed to tell you so you can feel the same and change how you think bro. Foer is the same way too. He ran into a girl talking on the phone with her mom and then she started crying like all girls do. But aside from that, Foer was being nosy and wanted to know why she was crying, so he thought about saying something to her but he minded his business, just like anybody else would. The point he was making that we get trapped in our own world with this technology bullshit, that we don’t give a damn about anybody else or what they feel. But lets face it if you see a girl crying, you wont go up to her and be like “oh what’s wrong” cause she probably will think you’re a weirdo. So what the hell are we supposed to do? He tells us that we need to stop being so caught in technology, and be that weirdo to say something to the crying girl. And he mentioned how technology is just getting better and better, so we really won’t be able to communicate with anybody because we’re getting brainwashed with all this cool shit. I don’t know about you but when I have my kids I don’t want them to not have friends because they have an iPhone 15 and a MacBook Super Pro. But we can’t teach anybody else shit if we don’t know what to do in the first place. These were some dope stories about life, but you should read them because they go into way more detail than what I’m telling you man.
