I saw another few posts about toilet paper recently. It go me thinking about the great toilet paper rush, so I did a few sums. For a 50 year old sing super long rolls and scrimping on use they have a typical lifespan of 150 toilet rolls. Of course, a full lifetime of luxury profligate use could easily be 1500 rolls. I remember seeing pictures of trolleys loaded with 200 rolls.
Then I was doing my washing today and got to wondering about converting the amount of washing powder to washes to weeks.
I started to wonder about measuring our lives in units other than time.
How often do you have to replace a cup? I think I have more than enough cap to last me the rest of my life. But I still find myself buying them. Okay, my last one was Victorian for display, but I have bought two cups for use in the last year.
So how many coffees have you left to live? Does it make you appreciate every one that little but more?
How often do you make a new friend? How long do you hope to live measured in new friends? Does that make you appreciate your current friends that little but more?
