Thanks, Heidi. I, too, love the interplay between language, culture, and worldview. Glad this has given you food for thought.

Absolutely, Pam! Thanks for writing.

As you say, we need both perspectives. I happen to be more of a dreamer, but I make myself ‘stay in the moment’ as much as possible.

I love hearing how different cultures approach the world differently. Gives me hope for all sorts of possibilities. But of course all the “could haves” and “maybes” can be just another form of navel gazing if taken to an extreme. It is probably best of we can balance between the perspectives you write about. Thanks for sharing something new to think about.

Thanks, Vita. How interesting to see the different perspectives play out with your brother. Obviously, I think both are crucial.

Thanks, Eloise–glad it provides a useful perspective. Be sure to listen to the whole Ted talk!

But here I want to say how much I enjoyed reading Subjunctive/Indicative. As a linguistically oriented person and teacher of English as a second language, I am interested especially in the implications of different grammars and this analysis of Vietnamese was new to me as I have had only a few Vietnamese students. This explains some of the difficulties they have with our grammar. And as a former therapist I was most interested in the connections you made to therapeutic language and interaction. Indeed, the psyche is enriched by both subjunctive and indicative. Human language perspectives are endlessly fascinating.

I have long been strongly in favor of daydreaming and enjoying memories, while my brother has tried to convince me of the value of staying in the moment. (I can see his point of view better now.) Anyway, your essay gets right to the heart of this question in an unexpected and intriguing way. Thanks!
