The Garden State, from what I understood, was the state in which people worked to get stuff out of their minds. For example, in Candide, the candide and his friends tended their garden, so with all of that work on their minds, they had nothing to worthfully think about. Outside of their little garden were all of these problems that these characters didnt wanna face, when they all knew that they could make a difference in the world because of all the wealth that they had.
I could relate this to people of today. We hear about all of these problems going on in the world (war, disease, murders, etc.), yet we find a way to block all of that by living out every day lives, either working or substituting work with entertainment. Some of us ay sports, some watch movies, in the end we all find out own little garden.
