Kids in those days, they're so ungrateful. They don't know how lucky they are. Just yesterday, my son complained about having to eat Brussels sprouts for dinner. So, I told him: "Son, when I was in your age, I could've killed for some Brussels sprouts. And I don't mean that as a figure of speech; I mean that I could've literally murdered a human being for them. Actually, I did, more than once." Suffice to say, he gobbled up his Brussels sprouts, then ran away and hid under his bed, and I haven't seen him since. Now, that's some good parenting.
As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.
--Carl Jung
