dear god though the painful accuracy of this frame. the tone of voice, the angle of arms, the self-satisfied complacency, the peevishness, the self-regard
It's important we hear both sides of the debate

Seven centuries ago, Dante Alighieri began his magisterial epic on existence, the Commedia, with these words. 

In the middle of the road of my life 
I awoke in a dark wood
where the true way was wholly lost.

In the wild and emphatic vowel sounds of medieval Italian, Dante's first line carries the impact of a jet aeroplane, after a long flight, jolting to earth on a foreign runway. This metaphor illustrates that I travel too much by air. But the landing in darkness and the sudden sense of arrival in a completely strange place is real to me. Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita /Mi ritrovai per una selva oscura. In the middle...of the road...of my life. I awoke...in a dark wood.In these three brief lines Dante says that the journey begins right here. In the middle  of the road. Right beneath your feet. This is the place. There is no other place and no other time. Even if you are successful and follow the road you have set yourself, you can never leave *here.* Despite everything you have achieved, life refuses to grant you, and always will refuse to grant you, immunity from its difficulties.

Me, a Therapist: look we've done a lot of great work recently and I think you're ready to move past this now [handing across a can of soda] Client: [suspicious look] Me: [trust-winning smile] it's OK go ahead Client: [drinking] Me: oh no
When I was 14, a kid said I look like a Muppet when I take a drink of soda from a can, and I still think of that every time I drink anything
