Why We Run From What We Need Most
Ever notice how the most important conversations are the ones we never have? Three realtors walked through a dead woman's house, each seeing something different in the crown molding and hardwood floors. One saw flaws, another saw care, the third saw dollar signs and desire. But none of them saw what really mattered-that this wasn't just a house in a coveted Catholic school district. It was the last physical proof that someone had once believed the home was "the foundation of true happiness in America." And now it had to be sold, quickly, before anyone could admit what was really being lost. We spend our lives building containers for our identities-homes, careers, relationships-then wonder why we feel trapped inside them. The discomfort isn't in the structures themselves but in the gap between who we are and who we've convinced ourselves we should be. Webster Groves was "just right"-tree-lined streets, Victorian homes, Wednesday church suppers, summer evenings at the municipal pool. This was the America of relatively equitable income distribution, where station wagons in driveways represented modest comfort rather than conspicuous consumption. A mother cultivated perennial gardens with reliable succession of blooms, taught children to bake in the kitchen, created window seats for rainy afternoon reading. She believed "able" people owed society their talents, a philosophy that shaped civic engagement across generations. But something fundamental shifted. Families dispersed to the coasts seeking opportunity, mirroring how the country fled its economic center. Vast wealth disparities emerged that would have troubled anyone who valued character over achievement. During Hurricane Katrina, living comfortably in Manhattan while watching the government's failures created a particular kind of rage-the guilt of distance, the impotence of charity appeals, the question of what someone who truly believed in civic duty would have done. The house that anchored decades of change became just another property, its memories packed in boxes marked "Keep" and "Donate," its foundation crumbling under the weight of what it could no longer hold.
