  • The Wonder of Not Knowing Rabbi Toba Spitzer I Wanted to Share with You a Piece That Appeared in the Boston Globe a Few Years Ag
    The Wonder of Not Knowing Rabbi Toba Spitzer I wanted to share with you a piece that appeared in the Boston Globe a few years ago, by Joan Wickersham. It’s called “Too Much Information”: AT A recent dinner with friends, someone was telling a story about taking her teenage kids to New York, where they’d stumbled into a store so cool that she hadn’t been able to figure out the name of it. “Uniqlo? Uniglo? It had one of those beautiful, unreadable logos. Anyway —’’ she said; but we never got to hear the rest of the story, because someone at the table had whipped out an iPhone and was making a big production of looking up the name of the store. “Uniglo,’’ the looker-upper announced triumphantly (and erroneously). “Ah,’’ we all murmured. The conversation died. Why couldn’t the poor woman have been allowed to simply tell her story? Why this reluctance to let even the smallest, most whimsical question remain unanswered? Our culture is increasingly obsessed with having all information available, all the time. We want what we want as soon as we want it. Even the language is getting more entitled and insistent and irritable. We have “on-demand movies,’’ “instant messaging,’’ “one-click ordering.’’ Now, damn it! But as the gap shrinks between wondering and knowing, between desiring and possessing, we may be losing something important: the tantalizing ache of the unattainable. To want something and not be able to get it sounds, on the surface, like deprivation. But wanting can actually be preferable to getting.
