<blockquote>Tim. Whether the retreat will be bloodless, however, is another question.</blockquote>

This is the ending sentence of Timon the Misanthrope. Sometimes you just have to heed the wisdom of Marcus Aurelius and love your neighbor even though they cause more headaches than anything else. It's hard to be like Marcus when everyone is so clueless, so irrational, so panicky. But at the end of the day is it pointless to be like Timon, still swinging his fists in the cold air, thinking over how much he distrusts humanity.
