That life quality rests on a one dollar packet of paracetamol. The tablets are so mild and generic but oh so clever as they work.
That simple things are king to a humanity that has gone after complexity with every breath in their competitive body. I don’t know how we will come out of this. But Talking to an online sales support team, we both agreed that snacks never tasted so good. The basic instant noodle meal with a sachet of fake flavour is now gourmet.
Everything is breaking down in the best possible way. And the fact that we will get to build again is sublime. The last time I rebuilt an empire was in childhood and I think that once, I was playing with lego and I did not know it would be for the last time.
Even though these few weeks seem to have landed upon us in an extreme way really there is nothing but subtlety and gentle change around us. We will not know when we are doing the last moment of isolation. It will lift like evaporating milk out of an open can. And the milk will taste so sweet. Forever.
