Things have never been better! That's a joke, and also a fact, which is a second joke. Morbid, though. That doesn't stop it from being funny. The truth can be funny twice over plus in a cosmic way, and still be depressing. But only from our limited, corporeal perspectives. The mighty laughter that powers the universe is grasped by the full punchline, and that's funnier than anything. Certainly that voice must weep, and rage at the dying of the light. But this joke can be infinitely told, and remain infinitely funny and infinitely sad. 

So it all just is. It is what it is cuz it isn't what it ain't, and that's the first and last truth you can tell.

Time to get a drink of water. Celebrate with me, dear reader, that I can remember such things, and perhaps act on them, occupied as I am with the needless burdens of an idiotic Atlas.
