Sitting in a camping chair, looking at the bugs gathering around a streetlight, thoughts swirl on.
Trying to fly not too close to the light and burn their wings is their sole concern.
At least the fellow bugs don’t pose a danger to each other.
As a human being observing this spectacle, we have to conclude that today ‘the others’ become suspects and attraction hazardous.
The outcome is clear: little by little we get more afraid of each other and little by little we get used to it.
