Despite the bullshit, despite it all,
we still answer back....... off on holiday,

" PESSIMISM is the philosophy of proportion and perspective. Wisdom., which is quite distinct from mere intelligence, is steeped in pessimism. The major prophets of the age, Jesus and Bhudda and Confucious were pessimists. They understood the tragedy of man, sad they went forth to heal him, each in his own way.
The pessimist does not seek needles in stacks of hay, and does not seek needles in stacks of hay, and does not feel disillusioned because they are unfindable. The hopes he entertains are not too sanquine, and remain within the framework of the ultumate reality.
He knows that the proverb" no rose without its thorn" is trite only because of its eternal justfication. Therefore, beauty he cherishes with that exquisite tenderness mingled with sorrow which characterises a last kiss, a dying dawn, the overtones of a cherished melody."
