Perhaps, if you assure yourself that you live in a country with the lousiest package of systems in the world, things won't look so bad--the devils' traffic, the blackouts, the water service interruptions, criminality, atchays, hypocrites.

Perhaps you are in purgatory, fated to endure a period of chastisement. All you have to do is remember when and how you died, and what you did in your previous lifetime to deserve all this.
