You take a little break in your mind and think of all the wonderful things you will do when this nonsense is over.

Since I live in a largely secular society I've not really be expected to participate in prayer since I left school. There's irony for you I describe Britain as largely secular but state schools expect pupils to take part in an act of collective worship of a broadly Christian nature. I heard people try to resolve this paradox by suggesting that this watered down religion in schools acts as a form of inoculation against the more harmful version of the virus. However these days I'm happy to participate in religious ceremonies by choice according to a variety of different customs and attempt to do so respectfully. I think Diwali might be my favourite.

I stand respectfully.
