But seriously, we need uplift more, not less today. Your friends and loved ones and distant readers need you more today, not less. So let your words ring hollow, or tinny, or forced. If you can only whistle in the dark, whistle loud.
"Monotony is the law of nature. Look at the monotonous manner in which the sun rises. The monotony of necessary occupation is exhilarating and life giving."
