Wallace's writing This is Water was over all pretty good. It manly focused on how many people walk around oblivious to life and the situations they are put through. In a sense I agree with the writing, but I don't think everyone is this way. Like he said, it is the mindset that the person has. When the example was given about the men in the bar with the atheist that was a little crazy, I feel like that man was sort of oblivious to what was going on around him but not completely. I am religious, so based off of my religious values I believe that God can get you through any obstacle especially with prayer; but I have to look at the standpoint of maybe the man wasn't oblivious maybe atheist and no beliefs was how he was raised, so he wouldn't know if his prayers were answered or not.
Overall, this writing was pretty interesting, the only thing that I have to disagree with is that everyone has their own life story which could be the reason they seem oblivious to Which is why we can't judge them based on whether we think they are walking clueless through life or whether they have just been brought up in a different way. My feelings are that whatever you are accustom to in life is the objective you will live by whether onlookers don't understand or not.
