Doom

Doomed.  We're all doomed, I tell you. If the next variant of the covids isn’t fatal on contact, if the wing-nut insurrectionists don’t overthrow our democracy, if climate change doesn’t flood our coastal cities and dry up our croplands, and if the industrial chemicals in our air, food, and water don’t poison us all, then we’re still all going to die agonizing and lonely deaths anyway. 

We were doomed from the start - this world is a sucker’s bet. Might as well just sit quietly and follow the breath. 

ALSO, life is splendid and lovely, the best we’ll ever get, so we might as well live, laugh, and love, and if we get the chance to befriend a dog somewhere along the way, all the better.
