    There might be a slim chance. But in the words of mid-20th-century writer Robert Anton Wilson,

    “Under the present brutal and primitive conditions on this planet, every person you meet should be regarded as one of the walking wounded. We have never seen a man or woman not slightly deranged by either anxiety or grief. We have never seen a totally sane human being.”

    Eventually there has to be one, so try to hold on to that idea.

        Unlike the guy the history books call ‘Alexander the Great’. A drunken mass-murdering King who never stopped sharing his misery until the day he died. Some hero!
