"the worst day of your life so far!"

a third of a decade spent in writing and of course an animated film expressed it more brilliantly; could anyone else has said it better? however, if one prefers an alternative long winded citation from Maurice Merleau-Ponty:


"everything we believed to be thought through, and thought through correctly - freedom and authority, the citizen against authority, the heroism of the citizen, liberal humanism, formal democracy and the real democracy which suppresses it and realizes it, revolutionary heroism and humanism - has all fallen into ruin. [...] Perhaps we are at one of those moments when history moves on. [...] But underneath a clamor is growing, an expectation. Why could it not be hope?"
