I think most people in the world are experiencing some kind of cost inflation because the Pandemic disrupted the global supply chains. We live in a world and society that is held together with a very brittle framework, even a disease that kills less than one percent of the world's population can cause chaos. Speed and quantity is everything in this world, if you can't supply goods very quickly and fully then you find yourself with more cost; If you pay millions of people not to work then your country's central bank has to print money and devalue your currency slightly. We have both, our currencies are watered down and there is a slump in the flow of goods.
My head is like a wrestling contest at the moment. I don't want to think about inflation but I do because it is in my face, when I pay my utility bills and fill up my car with fuel. Everything that I buy costs more money than it did before; food, clothing, services, power and transport.
My mind has become a fierce and restless place where my problems and my happy thoughts meet and wrestle for a position in my head. I flood my head with useless thoughts to push over the sad thoughts but they return again every 15 minutes.
Sometimes I just take off my glasses and press my face into my hands and try to think about nothing at all. I just sit on my own quietly and think of nothing, just breathe deeply. Then I think about pointless things like how many battery powered propellers would be needed to lift my body off the floor, I think about one day trying it, build small propeller cartridges and stack them together to see how many of them would be needed to lift my body in the air.
