We know that the world operates on a whim, a system of coincidences. There are two basic coping mechanisms. One consists of dreading the chaos, fighting it and abusing oneself after lost, building a structured life … in which every decision is a reaction against the fear of the worst … This is the life that cannot be won, but it does offer the comfort of battle – the human heart is content when distracted by war. The second mechanism is an across-the-board acceptance of the absurd all around us … This is the way to survive in this world, to walk up in the morning … and exclaim, 'How unlikely! Yet here we are,' and have a laugh, and swim in the chaos, swim without fear, swim without expectation but always with an appreciation of every whim, the beauty of screwball twists and jerk that pump blood through our emaciated veins.
