Dear Jan Powers,
Hi, my name is Manar Alsheikh and I have recently read an interview you did with Studs Terkel. You are a very interesting person to say the least. After reading how you “don’t notice the world” and how “[Your] interest in life is [you]”, you seem self-absorbed. None the less, it caught my attention and was quiet a memorable interview. You seem to be settled into your own little world. It is hard to understand why you do not take more of an interest in the world you live in. The reading made it seem as though you could not care less about anybody but yourself.
All that you have to offer it going to waste because you are not putting any effort into anything of real substance. You are marrying a man because that is what you think should be done rather than you actually loving him. You seem to put no real effort into your job and simply do it to earn a paycheck. You should find what is really important to you and work towards it, before it is too late. In the end, by just doing what you think is expected you will end up unhappy. Living this upper class lifestyle has stopped you from finding what you really want in life.
The social class system can often isolate people and it gives people an excuse to ignore the problems of others. Groups separate people more than bring them together. You are a perfect example of how being in a group can segregate you. You are so comfortable in your own group that nothing and nobody else can faze you. When people become segregated from one another misunderstandings often occur, leading to isolation. Look outside of your own group and see how the other side of the world lives. You never know what you can learn or take from branching out of your comfort zone. Just understanding the lives of others can make a big difference.
Ignoring the world around you will leave you lonely and isolated. So much is happening in the world and you would rather just focus on you, which is a shame. The most memorable moments of the sixties are taking place while you go on oblivious. By ignoring all that is happening you are selling yourself short. You need to learn how being informed can be a tool that helps you in the long run. Your blatant disregard towards the world only makes you seem pretentious and self-involved.
Ignorance towards your surroundings will only end up hurting you mentally. You should take initiative and be more informed about the world outside of your own social group. Information can be the tool used to develop your personal, work, and social life. Being naïve will only make so that you are disconnected from your surroundings. When people in general are unaware of the rest of the world it leads to upsetting circumstances. It is vital to take initiative and take part in the world you live in. I hope that someday you become more of an open minded person towards the rest of the world and I hope you find what you are really looking.
Sincerely,
Manar Alsheikh
