I Will Write Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow :: Personal Narrative Writing

I Will Write Tomorrow and Tomorrow and TomorrowWe are all in the gutter, just some of us are looking at the stars. - Oscar Wilde Life, I think, if we could map it out on some sort of cosmic parchment, would be a tapis of paths taken, woven in on each other in a tangle resembling nothing if not a spider web. Somewhere in the center of these interlocking and twisting trails of all the ways Ive gone, the ways Ive planned to go and the roads I have abandoned I managed to find two trends that function a frame for all the other twists and turns that may come. These two trends, two paths that Im currently in the midst of walking, are the practical-and-mired-in- reality realm of economics and the freer, more than creative area of writing. When it came to this paper, to actually taking both and projecting them into the future, I found myself coming up against one specific question. How on earth underside I wrap the two of them together, meld them into something that stands as a unit? T he answer that I found, for now at least, is that they cannot be melded each is too heavily intent on standing on its own. But this doesnt mean that they do not coincide again and again from time to time. Each has its future, separate from the other, besides neither precludes the other. Neither stands completely isolated from the other. Even with the advances of technology and the changing trends that the world is bringing to bear with a vengeance, theres still a phenomenon that allows for the coexistence of such unalike and yet inextricable dramatic arts. E pluribus unum--thats the slogan, right? I think it applies, and perhaps more importantly, that it will continue to apply.Economics, in the present is a hot topic for discussion. Everyone, from the auditor at the gas station to candidates for political office, has their opinions and theories about it all. Economics, in its simplest definition, is the study of human choices and decisions when unlimited wants meet limited or s carce resources. As cold as I can tell, and as far as Ive been told, weve yet to come up with a technology that eliminates this problem of scarcity, so it stands to reason that the field itself will exist in the coming decades. With that much established, little else is certain.
