A Change in Locale
A plane just flew low - way too low it seemed - near my office. And I thought nothing of it. Rather, I thought a lot of the fact that I thought nothing of it, and that no one around me thought anything of it.
Had that happened in NYC, someone would have gone to the window. Someone would have made a remark out loud that it sounded like it was flying way too low. We all would have listened for the next 15 minutes to see if any other loud noises followed, if we heard any sirens. I would have checked ny1.com immediately, and probably cnn.com, nytimes.com and msnbc.com for the next 45 minutes - just to be sure.
And I wouldn't have thought anything of it. Which, I guess, leaves a lot to think about.

It's interesting that I listerally JUST lectured this morning about anxiety disorders. Specifically about how incidences of PTSD were increased post-9/11 across the country but particularly in the NYC area. One of the core concepts I talked about in understanding a person's distress is context.
