The unaddressed issue of finding the tape end in cello tape rolls is worth pondering. Making itself invisible to the eye, the layer of this tape has to be sensed by the finger. Some tapes which are extremely thin tend to bypass the touch of the finger.
We often spend time painfully in searching for this tape-end. Not everyone or every time does one have the luxury of carrying tape cases. Tapes are carried in a handy manner as rolls. They are bitten off to pieces by the teeth.
The situation worsens if you have recently cut your nails - for your finger can no longer peel it off even if you can feel the layer edge!
There, above, you see my plight - of cut nails, of the lost tape edge and of a complete helplessness in the unending roundness of the tape, sometimes perhaps the metaphor for life!
