APPENDIX: TWO HELPFUL LETTERS FROM FRIENDSgladly succumb to all your guilty pleasures: catastrophicdystopias, comedy series with canned laughter like Willand Grace, YouTube documentaries on the great battlesof the past. My preference is for dark Scandinavian—preferablyIcelandic—crime series like Trapped or ValhallaMurders.However, just surrendering to the screen won’t fullysave you. The main task is to structure your daily life ina stable and meaningful way. Here is how another of myfriends, Andreas Rosenfelder, a German journalist for DieWelt, described the new stance towards daily life that isemerging:I really can feel something heroic about this newethics, also in journalism—everybody works dayand night from their home office, participatingin video conferences and taking care of childrenor schooling them at the same time, but nobodyasks why he or she is doing it, because it’s not anymore a question of so “I get money and can go tovacation etc.,” since nobody knows if there willbe vacations again and if there will be money. It’sthe idea of a world where you have an apartment,basics like food and water, the love of others and atask that really matters, now more than ever. Theidea that one needs “more” seems unreal now.113
PANDEMIC!I cannot imagine a better description of what one shouldshamelessly call a non-alienated, decent life, and I hopethat something of this attitude will survive when thepandemic passes.114
