Sometimes ...

... events tempt one to take a rather dim view of human nature. Is it best to ride out contempt, like a storm (because it is not a natural & constant state of being, at least not for me), or to fight against it, overcome it like an adversary?

To all who read EL: thank you for bothering with my little public notebook. It means much. And thanks for reading this deliberately, contemptibly cryptic note. A new post coming soon, I think ...

Cryptic, indeed. And reminiscent of this:

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them?

Chin up, and all that.
