When You Don’t Know What To Say; Don’t Say Anything At All

Sometimes you find it is simply too hot out there…and the wrong people are in charge of the world, and the corruption is just too much to be believed…and there is nothing you can do about any of it, anyway…and…and why should you follow the news because it is just so terrible and what good does knowing about any of it do you? …and then you look out the window and you see people dining under the starlit sky…and soon they will dance for no good reason and you have a sudden thought that things can be alright.
