So brave, so beautiful. That’s the right thing to say, isn’t it? Do I get a cookie?
It’s not enough to tolerate.
Even acceptance is insufficient.
One must enthusiastically embrace it to be in the good graces of the Party.
I don’t know about a cookie, but something said to me around 1975 is echoing in my brain. “Life is a sh*t sandwich, and every day is a bite out of it.” It seems that perfectly describes the world today.
