@BillyM2k You can also apply it forward to make yourself feel better when you make some epic mistake. I like to recall that Zen master “we’ll see” story in those moments (but not in the good moments). — PolitiTweet.org

Reading about history is weird. On one hand it’s like “holy fuck everything was so terrible and scary and unfair.” But also—if any of it had gone any differently I wouldn’t exist. The only world I could have lived in is one where those exact terrible things all happened. Ya know? — PolitiTweet.org

Like I was just learning about a ship arriving in medieval Norway from England that brought the Black Death to Norway and killed half the population in 6 months. And I was like “No! Don’t let the ship dock!” But then I realized that that ship literally saved my life. Dock away! — PolitiTweet.org
