Such an existence
Seemingly insulated from jeopardy
Ignores outside reality
Shuns cognizance of truth

Sounds just like our pompous, without a clue, living in a bubble, so called 'leaders' today. "We're shutting down the government because the people want us to!"

A well rounded metaphor topped with chocolate sprinkles. People do love their bubbles! I have a friend who sends "love and peace" to others using his bubbles. Perhaps there are other ways they can be used. M.True

You have struck on a major human infallibility. We know our demise. We know we will die. We just don't see it coming.

The largest bubble I see is the ballooning human population… reaching unsustainable, unless relieved by most of the inhabitants leaving the planet Earth for the solar system.

And the most vulnerable of all? The bubble called New York City, its spires about to poke a hole in its sources of sustenance. NYC's life blood can be cut off very easily and all would either have to flee or die.

All of the long gone ancient civilizations and cities bear testimony to many bubbles that burst in the past.

As always, a very thoughtful write.

If I could follow all the tentacles of your words would I find a wise philosopher eating a bowl of soup, or just sitting there staring into space and laughing his ass off? My imagination leads me toward the latter.
