It sometimes even seems as if there is a direct correlation between the significance of something and our lack of thought about it. Many of us are more concerned with when our&nbsp;next glass of wine will be than our next glass of water. If we could give as much attention to climate breakdown as we do to celebrity breakups, who knows what the world would look like? However, there is one thing that is so fundamental to our lives and that happens so automatically we scarcely register its existence. Breathing. It carries you through the good times and the bad.
