I’m in that zone where I’ve written a viral articel (in Swedish) and people who obviously haven’t read it are commenting. Even of the type: ”you’re wrong, it’s like this...” and then reiterating a point almost exactly as I’ve written it.

Humans, you’ve gotta love ’em. ❤️

It’s actually an interesting side effect of people choosing to quote from the article when they post it on Facebook, where this ”teaser” is intended to draw attention and interest to the post. Instead the discussion around that particular quote takes off.

Yesterday I was in a hurry running around a corner. A blind man came around at the same time, his cane getting caught between my feet and in my stride I snapped it in two. The emotional distress I felt was unbearable; thankfully he turned out to be the coolest guy ever.

”Well that certainly made it shorter!” he exclaimed, laughing it off (about 30cm of the cane broke off). Noticing my intense distress and worry about how to proceed., he continued: ”Dude, don’t worry about it. The canes are free. Just keep walking and try not to think about it.”

Resilience in the face of adversity. He should give classes in that.

But the loud SNAP! of that cane, and realizing what had happened, will haunt me forever.
