When I was a young man, I lived by the words of that great English musician/philosopher, Declan MacManus: “I used to be disgusted; now I try to be amused.” But as I have aged, I’ve come to appreciate that life is far too nuanced to be captured by a single smug punk rock lyric. In other words, I’ve learned it’s possible – indeed, necessary in these times – to be capable of feeling both disgust AND amusement, at the same time. That's called maturity.
