I confess to occasionally watching those heart-warming videos
on YouTube in which people perform kind, selfless, altruistic actions to help
other humans or animals in distress. And I’ve noticed that the comment section
is always liberally scattered with entries in which people say, in one form or
another: ‘This restores my faith in human nature.’ It doesn’t restore mine, I
regret to say, and here’s why: It isn’t the kind, selfless, altruistic people
who are running the world and ordering the course of events, is it? It’s the
other lot. That’s why Jacinda Arden was such a rarity.

I just ate a portion of cold rice from the fridge, a leftover from dinner two nights ago. I intended to have it with my lunch today but forgot, and I do so hate anything going to waste so I had it with my late evening coffee. The two didn’t match at all. Lesson learned.

Does this inconsequential little post indicate that the restrained release of steam in the last one had the desired effect of lifting the gloom slightly? We’ll see.
