      1. Yesterday I was in a hurry running around a corner. A blind man came around at the same time, his cane getting caught between my feet and in my stride I snapped it in two. The emotional distress I felt was unbearable; thankfully he turned out to be the coolest guy ever.

      ”Well that certainly made it shorter!” he exclaimed, laughing it off (about 30cm of the cane broke off). Noticing my intense distress and worry about how to proceed., he continued: ”Dude, don’t worry about it. The canes are free. Just keep walking and try not to think about it.”

    Resilience in the face of adversity. He should give classes in that. But the loud SNAP! of that cane, and realizing what had happened, will haunt me forever.
