Things got better, of course. We were doing pretty well until 2008, when we weren’t doing so well. Then we did pretty well again. That’s the nature of life, isn’t it? It oscillates, like a sine wave, like the rise and fall of your chest as you breathe in and out.
Call it intentional vagueness if you want, but I think the author's point is: this too shall pass. The particulars of the author's story are likely so specific as to be useless.
There are ups, there are downs. Keep calm, and carry on.
- BoorishBears 7y agoI think that’s kind of my point though. > There are ups, there are downs. Keep calm, and carry on. That’s pretty much the title and subheading The author’s story ends up not really adding any meat to that statement though. They delve into their own story and I wouldn’t say there were any ultra specific Hail Mary moments that make it inapplicable to others (like people who’s stories are “I was sad then I won the lottery so that could be you”) But it’s just, you go in expecting the author’s point to be expanded upon, and it just isn’t. I actually read it like 3 times imagining I was missing something honestly
- cushychicken 7y agoThe author’s story ends up not really adding any meat to that statement though. Yeah, but it sure helps their SEO rankings. XD
- BoorishBears 7y agoYeah, actually I think that’s what was so weird It’s like high-effort clickbait, which is an oxymoron of sorts
