The emphatic dissatisfaction with reality. Why do things need to be as they are? Don’t people realize we could be living one big party? If we can’t manage a four-way stop, then how can we save the world?

Blissfully ignorant isn’t the right approach. Turning down the volume of despair. That’s it. Redirecting energy towards what can be controlled. And that is finishing the damn book. The ice caps can melt. The oceans can rise. People think tomato on a cheeseburger is keeping with good taste. I’m finishing this damn book.

Just tired of the noise. So much noise.
