Don't forget where you are. Don't forget where you stand. Because its easy to forget. The newspapers won't remind you. They're too busy with the details.

Look around. Look behind you. What do you see? You see a whole lot of change. Big change. Remember, it was only 200 years ago, give or take a few, that God died.

So if you're wondering why you're so screwed up, and why nothing makes any sense, and everything makes you nauseous, and how sometimes even the thought of not making sense makes you nauseous, just remember where you are. And since we're all here, in this same place, on this uneasy footing where nothing is quite real and everything that worked in the past no longer applies, we may as well just accept it, and maybe think a bit about it, and see if we cna figure out how to get ourselves out of this mess.

But take some solace of your screwedupedness, that its really not that much of a surprise.
