Reduced to physiology
Food poisoning is a great way to be reminded that we control nothing.
When you wake up on your bathroom floor after counting tiles in between tossing your toenails up, its a real mental boost.
You control nothing. Your biology takes over and you can’t do a thing about it until your body decides otherwise.
Life goals don’t matter. People don’t matter.
The plumbing and your body are all that matters.
Pretty humiliating.
