"But that's not true! It is not true! The events have been brought back to reality. We're back with both feet on the ground without the slightest reason to pat ourselves on the back.

Everything is the same everywhere: what happens here will happen elsewhere as well, and vice versa. This insight makes humble, and I'm grateful. "
