There are certain moments in life that make absolutely no sense, yet somehow everybody experiences them. For example, you can spend thirty minutes looking for your phone while holding it in your hand. You can walk confidently into a room and immediately forget your mission. You can open a refrigerator, stare directly at its contents, close it, and then reopen it ten seconds later as if new items might have spawned during the cooldown period.
Human beings are fascinating creatures.
Take sleeping, for instance. All day long we complain about being tired. We promise ourselves that tonight will be different. Tonight we will sleep early. Tonight we will be responsible. Tonight we will make good decisions. Then somehow it becomes midnight. Then one o'clock. Then two o'clock. Suddenly we're watching videos about topics we didn't even know existed. Somewhere along the line our original goal disappeared completely.
The next morning arrives with the speed and mercy of a charging rhinoceros.
