The article you’re about to read is part essay; part confession. It is a story about how, amidst tragedy, I/we default all too easily to cliche. When a person dies, we immediately dig out the phrase “our thoughts are with their friends and family”. In the event of a company collapse, we dredge up the equally trite “our thoughts are with the employees and the supply chain”. In both instances, we have a strange tendency to overlook the primary victim; to shift our focus; and to look away too soon.
I hope this article goes some way toward setting the record straight.
