这句语录背后的故事
In a masterful reframing of the mundanity of adult life, Green argued that the seemingly stultifying rituals of adulthood — homeowners' association meetings, insurance decisions, weather small talk — are actually profound when you understand what they're really about. The debate over grass length is really about what kind of neighborhood people want to share. Choosing between whole and term life insurance is really about imagining a world without you and how you might help those you leave behind. And how lucky you will be, Green said, to have been woven so deeply into the interconnected web of the human story that you have people to leave behind.
