I cried 8 solid hours of a train ride home today. Once here I canceled subscriptions to the New York Times and Washington Post. My cardiologist has given me a lifespan of 5 years. I cannot spare one moment of those five years witnessing evil. Instead I will remember the wisdom of Baldwin.

"I never have been in despair about the world. I’ve been enraged by it. I don’t think I’m in despair. I can’t afford despair. I can’t tell my nephew, my niece. You can’t tell the children there’s no hope."
