I Believe... [Learning to Swim]
I believe... that while the lesson to ’never trust anyone ever again’ is reasonable in some cases it is not pragmatic or useful in any way. If you almost drown in the ocean, the better lesson is ‘learn to swim.’ I’m working on my breaststroke from now on.

I believe... that, at half a century plus, one starts to see how much of the world’s issues are bullshit. This is not nihilism. It’s clarity.
