May you live in interesting times… Nankin told me that. At the time, I blinked, nodded and pretended comprehension.
Now I see it differently. The saying is a blessing or a curse. At the time, I considered it a blessing. Nankin knew my attention span – really short – and my need for stimulus.
Stimulus arrived. In its droves.
I found myself constantly scanning news websites and social media platforms. My heart palpitated and my brain throbbed.
It will all be the same 100 years hence; another of Nankin’s favoured sayings. I woke up on Friday morning and remembered it.
