Whenever I stumble, it’s a chance to glimpse a better path. Maybe not for months or even years, but when I look back now, my mistakes have, by and large, not been a waste. That makes it easier to keep positive in turbulence.
In the end, I’m going to die regardless of what happens. Until then, I’ll do my best to live as a happy idiot, and let others make the transient determination as to whether I’m lucky or unlucky.

Consider that if we are not curing cancer or making the world a better place fifty years from now no one will know. Or give a fuck. From the gift that was Hendrix – “I’m the one that’s got to die when it’s time for me to die, so let me live my life the way I want to.”

Your eloquent musings always have an upbeat dénouement. This old world needs more of that.

Thank you! I agree–after years of thinking things would decisively end this way or that way, I feel like edgy doomsaying is kind of overrated

Oh indeed. The best idiot is a happy idiot, rather than a sad one.
