Look in the mirror. Lay on the bed and stare at the ceiling. Phone an older relative, reflect on the history of your family. Stare outside the window. Take a walk through the town or the city; people-watch; understand that mostly everyone else feels the exact same way that you do, they just have better ways at masking it; you may be suggesting masks right now in fact.

Ask yourself honestly: What are the trends that characterize the strengths and weaknesses of my family’s lineage? What are the cycles? How do I break them? How do I organize around a new one that will protect my own children from how I feel? What is the objective for humanity, truly? Are we to merely eat, accumulate wealth, frolic and procreate like hares and squirrels? Protest, program and attempt to prolong our inevitable in-existence on earth?
