After the burning of the Reichstag, Germany came together, Hitler was made Chancellor, and civil liberties were suspended, and the rest is history.

I'll take the messiness of the democratic process over everybody uniting in the name of fear and revenge every day of the week grin

If you really want to think about something: how many people who died that day spent their last moments alive mad at somebody on the subway, angry at family members, lost in grief over a breakup, and so on? Terrible way to spend your last moments here on planet Earth.

Wasting your life fearing things you personally have no control over, remorse, and so on is sad too, and it's only a matter of time before we each step in front of the metaphorical bus.

Your time is passing whether or not you use it wisely.
