Welcome to the list! This is just what I get out of Breathing. It's one
of my favorites. The obvious for me is the aftermath of a nuclear 
conflict. What hits my gut is those times in my life when I've felt
suffocated by end of a relationship, a job I can't stand, etc. It
brings me back to that fundamental act and reminds me that as long
as I'm breathing there's hope.
