Ahh.. the comfort of electricity! We have been deprived of it since yesterday. The sudden comeback of electric power refreshes my appreciation for it but also makes me realize how dependent we (or at least I) have become towards it.
Life practically froze in its absence and we were left sitting in the darkness. No TV, no computer, no internet. It was almost unbearable. Come daylight and the house revealed its sorry state. Without much to do, I noticed the ceiling is about to fall off. Old patches fail to hide cracks on the walls. Our stuff are hopelessly scattered on every little space.
These weird realizations came to my head because I felt powerless without power and did nothing but sit and look around. It's sad it required a 24-hour power outage for me to notice the real world that exists. The real world I easily ignore once I'm absorbed into the digital dimension.
