I got the Rona and so I have to quarantine in my room for 5 days. I feel good, no fever, and I have a slight cold. Other than that I feel good. The biggest PIA was setting up all the stuff in my bedroom. So I am watching movies. I decided to watch this excellent movie called Life as a House starring Kevin Kline.
“A man can suffer any how if he has a why” In the beginning, of the movie Kevin Kline is in the hospital and the nurse touches his face. He sighs and he says it has been years since anyone touched me. She is shocked; she points out people need touch. I think this is something we have forgotten in the pandemic. I mean not only physical touch – consensual touch of course – but also connection and interaction with other humans. We evolved in small groups. The Dunbar’s number for humans is 150 which I take as an indication of us being small tribes.
Anyway see the movie. It is well worth your time.
