You try, you fail. You leap, you fall. But as the great philosophers tell us, it ain't all bad. No really. “Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly," says Chuang Tzu. "Enjoy your life!" says Nicolas de Condorcet. "The truth belongs to those who seek it - not to those who claim to own it. And there does not exist any religious system, or supernatural extravagance, which is not founded on an ignorance of the laws of nature." And finally, revel in the blunt philosophy of Lucy Van Pelt. "Stop all this ridiculous worrying! Five cents, please." At least for today - let's try for just this one day - let's heed her advice. It's good for your heart and digestion and you'll fart less, I promise.
