mckitterick sent me the link to this article at The Onion: Grown Adult Actually Expects To Be Happy.

"What really gets me is the confidence he seems to have that one day he will be able to shed all of the fears and anxieties that are hardwired into his DNA and the modern world will decide to stop being unrelentingly brutal and allow him some happiness," said coworker Miles Sagal, adding that the delusional Peterson inexplicably presumes that this not only could, but should, occur. "Whenever he's feeling low, he'll allude to some time down the road when he'll have it all 'figured out.' When exactly does he think that will happen?"

"Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with this guy?" Sagal added. "He's aware that he's going to die, right?"

Love.

God Damn It.
