As I was walking around Segovia the other day I saw this – two workmen on a piece of scaffolding. It brought to mind those messages you see on websites that won’t open, saying that they’re currently under construction because the owner is updating site content or there’s just some kind of technical problem. It would be great if humans could “reset” themselves like websites do, if we could just stop for a moment to update ourselves or correct something we’ve done, to become better people. Imagine what it would be like to see people in the street with a sign round their neck saying “Currently under construction, please check back soon.”
