There really isn’t a happily ever after, you know? Children believe that. Adults believe what this fella Bernard Malamud said – that Life is a tragedy full of joy.
You hold on past the tragedy for the next wave of joy. And be grateful for the joy.

Speaking of children, do you remember the old Aesop’s fable about the mouse and the lion?
Today’s Mother Teresa’s bday. A few months back here in NYC, there was a controversy cause the owners of the Empire State Building refused to light their building blue and white for her birthday, which made some of the local government – the city council – upset.
After all, they did change the colours for the Simpsons and Popeye, why not a woman who gave her life helping the less lucky, yeah?
Fast forward to this week when the owners needed help from – you guessed it – the city council to block a new rival building from competing with it two blocks away. The vote was 47-to-1 allowing the building to go up.
See what happens when you don’t pay attention in grade school?
