Rather peaceful day, at least for most of it. From time to time, it occurs to me that, given the larger circumstances, phenomenologically, things could be much worse. (This is partially established by the fact that things have been much worse in the past, within the same general circumstance--I could a tale unfold.) The incongruity, though, does give me some pause. Not to imply that the bad things in life are sent upon us by some dark malevolent force that is as creative as Hegel's spirit of history when confounded, but I must be sure to stay on my toes. Things can come out of left field sometimes.
