Where do you want to view the world?

 
Posted by Picasa


Why did John LeCarre say "A desk is a dangerous place from which to watch the world?" What did he mean? Do you agree? Where would you like to view the world from? Add your comments!!!

I agree. I'm guessing he saying that people who work in big businesses and are controling for example the goverment and don't know whats really going on. I would veiw the world by traveling and actually seeing it.

I think he is saying when you are at school and sitting at your desk dont look outside because you are trying to learn and you shouldn't give that up.

i think he is trying to say that if you live your life inside looking out you will never get to your place in life so go out and live the world and not look at it.

I think the person sitting on the tree had a big idea so he probably is saying to not just sit down doing nothing all day, but go outside and explore

I think he said it, because sometimes, you get bored of the same old veiw, looking out the window at the world, when you wish you could be out in it, instead of just looking at it. Thats what happens to alot of kids, the don't get to chose what they want. I think that should change!

I think we should be travling the world and having fun! And not just sitting back and watching TV or playing video games. Life is short and it's not a privilege live it to the fullest!

Well I think that what they are trying to say is to do what you want to do and not have somebody tell you what you can and can not do! like for example if you wanted to go to, lets say New York City and your best friend said no you should not go you should stay here! I would not listen to that person because I would want to do what I would wnat to do! And I would rather be then sitting in front of the tv I would want to be traveling or snowboarding on schweitzer and all fo th4e fun stuff you can do in life!!

I think it means that you have to get out in the world and you can't be scared of the world.
