Because of what America is and what America has done, a firmer courage, a higher hope, inspires the heart of all humanity.

It’s not a hand towel. On my world, it means hope.
Save us towel cat you’re our only hope
The hope and meaning people thrive on is the observation that they are moving towards something worthwhile…If you don’t have a goal, transcendent goals, something that is beyond you, then you don’t have any positive emotion. That’s not good because you have plenty of negative emotion. That’s the problem with fundamental claims of meaninglessness too in life-it’s the philosophical error that’s made by Nihilists. They say “life is meaningless”, well if you are a Nihilist, generally you have lost all hope. Your life isn’t meaningless, it’s just unbearably miserable and that’s a form of meaning! That suffering is a form of meaning! You can try to argue yourself out of that with your Nihilistic rationalizations, but that is not going to work. You need a transcendent goal in order to withstand the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune. And the destruction of the narratives that guide us individually, psychologically, and that also unite us socially, familial and socially, it’s an absolute catastrophe.

Women sang laments and swayed with grief Thursday over the graves of relatives killed in Turkey's worst mining disaster, even as more hearses pulled up and backhoes dug more graves around them.
Hopefully the remaining 142 will come out alive.
