A comment by @steveklabnik.com on Lobsters that made me think quite a bit: “I don’t want to speak for you, but I have had some people express that they view any sort of optimism with suspicion. […] I think it’s easy to get into this mindset with how… the world is right now.”

I remember the first time my dad asked me to punch him in the face. Me and my 27 brothers (no sisters) and their 26 moms were there with me and dad. All 55 of us were just wrasslin. "Let me have it," dad said. He had been awake since 1991, because of the drugs and blackmail. Weeks later he died.
