" And in front of this backdrop, there were all of us. Our stupid selves with our stupid frustrations, our lost baggage and our delayed trains. It seemed to me that the sense of punishing oversaturation would persist, no matter what was in the news. There was no limit to the amount of misfortune a person could take in via the internet, and there was no way to calibrate this information correctly. No guidebook for how to expand our hearts to accommodate these simultaneous scales of human experience, no way to teacher ourselves to separate the banal from the profound. "
