Duncan Bell is sparking joy
You can have too much of a good thing – especially when it comes to its packaging
Do you remember Marie Kondo? She was huge a few years ago, thanks to her winning philosophy of decluttering your life. ‘Look at all your possessions,’ she said, in Japanese, ‘and decide if they spark joy.’ Although interestingly the expression she used actually translates more accurately as ‘decide if they spark fluttering, throbbing or palpitations’. At least according to Wikipedia.
Those of your possessions that did not make you throb and flutter should be discarded at once, Marie advised sternly yet adorably.
