This is a test. It is a test of your will to change things. It is a test of the reasons you would like to change things: do they matter? Do they matter more than your comfort? Do they matter enough?

This is a test: are you still reading? I could bet you aren’t still reading. Who put this here? You can’t know.

This is a test: are you uncomfortable?

This is a test: are you engaged?
