The last loo roll?
So here it is, quite possibly the last loo roll that was available in my area tonight.
Shops were almost empty with the anticipated panic buy that the majority are in just now, fortunately the lass behind the counter had one in reserve.
I find myself reflecting on the mass behaviour of the majority, the people who have the need to stock up and how their behaviour mirrors our own.
Take the trigger, in this case, the virus outbreak, the external event that causes the problem.
Next the emotions, panic, fear, anxiety, all the old guard that we are accustomed to frequently.
Now the behaviours, it impulsivity to stock up on everything, food, drink, loo roll, hand gels etc. No rationale at the volume needed, just the intense need to satisfy the uncomfortable emotions experienced.
So the next time I'm questioned, doubted, mocked about my behaviour, I will come come back to this time and ask for an explanation and their reason for not being able to relate.
