I'm not trying to invalidate husky guy’s own suffering or anyone else's. In fact, I’m hypocritically and neurotically obsessed with my own suffering a solid 75% of the time. When that happens, even briefly, you are forced to understand yourself as a microscopic node in something perfect and whole. It’s difficult to describe, and language makes it smaller, but the experience is real. Our sufferings are real! But they are also very small. The same goes for our ecstacies. Somewhere in the world a child is dying of cholera, somewhere else a father is holding his baby for the first time, he’s sitting at his computer talking to me and a million dogs are sleeping in a million little patches of sunlight, thinking about nothing. We all came from dust and are going back to dust, but in the meantime, he’s here….we’re all here.
