Ring the bells that still can ring Forget your perfect offering There is a crack in everything That’s how the light gets in. —Leonard Cohen
I feel like Dr. Pangloss…
… except unlike that thin caricature, my lanky make up of bones, hair, and belly fat believes that we truly do live in the best of times—and I can prove it.
Please listen.
I know that you’re reading this at some distant point after I wrote it… and yet… I truly believe this is a chance to make a real difference in the world.
Because while we plan, the gods laugh.
And many of our plans are weak… uninformed… and frankly, overly pessimistic.
I’m not a pessimist. Just an optimist proved wrong by reality.
And in my darkest moments—when grey clouds mute palettes, while I drown in a cacophony of silence—I think the world is on its own.
But even in my darkest moments, I take solace. I take solace in the fact that the facts factually that WE ARE LIVING IN THE BEST OF ALL TIMES.
And you’d be a damn fool to think otherwise.
Why we’ve already won the game of life
