      My son is 8 years old. Every summer when he is drenched in sweat, I tell him to enjoy his coolest summer.

      I hope things turn around.

          Existential dread is the correct emotional response to inevitable, existential danger.

          Feeling safe for the sake of feeling safe is just a comfortable delusion.
