To Live Now

"To be hopeful in bad times is not just hopefully romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness. And if we do act, in however small a way, we don't have to wait for some grand Utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents and to live now as we human beings should live; in defiance of all that is bad around us is itself a marvelous victory."

Howard Zinn

“There is a long marriage between comedy and human suffering, and mental illness, in particular, is easily played for laughs….Sometimes it is hard to shake the feeling that, all jokes aside, there really is an epidemic of human suffering in the world, the full brunt of which is being borne, for now, by only a luckless few.”
