"And Yet, Sometimes..."

So, you look around in horrified astonishment at how totally insane it all really is, how the never ending bad news is everywhere you look, how truly hopeless it really is, and know there's nothing at all you can do about it, can't save anyone, can't even save yourself. So you remember what they said and how you need to be, and carry on...

“The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, 

but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.”

- Marcus Aurelius, "Meditations"

“That millions of people share the same forms of 

mental pathology does not make these people sane.”

- Erich Fromm, "The Sane Society"

“Laugh whenever you can. Keeps you from killing

 yourself when things are bad. That and vodka.”

- Jim Butcher, "Changes"

And yet, sometimes, at the end of another long day, 

your defenses are just worn out and you lose control and feel like this... 

Full screen recommended.

The Trashmen, "Surfin Bird - Bird is the Word," 1963

Until tomorrow, when you do it all over again...

And so it is, lol...
