I thought it was only a local phenomenon – people going crazy.  After all, where else in the world but Tel Aviv does a pedestrian fear for his life from the delivery boys on their scooters?  Where else in the world do people scream at each other for almost no reason?  In what other country do the writers fight with each other for no reason?  Everyone in this country is crazy. 

That was the kind of day I had.  

And then I invited some cousins to zoom with me from the other side of the world – and I realized that they’re crazy now too.  And so am I.    

And my cousin tried to point out the positive aspects of our situation – like I do off and on.  But seeing him in me made me realize how crazy I really am.

And I belong to this world that is falling apart because of our own foolishness
