I filled two pages with what I thought I should write about last week, but really it all boils down to this.

Hatred, fear, absolution, volition, belief, seriousness and, most of all, the capacity to be offended – it all disappears if you sit next to a fire with a dog.

Stop being angry. Stop being afraid. Start laughing. If you can’t, you’re lost. And if you’re lost, find a dog.
