The New Malady

Streaming, social media, online shopping. Boredom is no longer the malady of the 21st century. Perhaps it was just my procrastination. Perhaps it was the amassing depression last January as Taal erupted, and towards February the Corona virus broke out.  Local and world events that claim victims. And there's always the verbal diarrhea that shits out of our President's mouth, digested by his followers as if it was their communion. There's always the stress of living in a dense city officially with the second heaviest traffic in the world.

When you feel so mad, and want to roar, take a deep breath and count to four.
