Thank you for this reflection. I had to look up Panglossian ... haha. That I am not! But this reminder ... that hope is a moral imperative ... might just move me in the right direction.
Couldn’t agree more. We need hope and imagination. I recently read a few articles about the need to imagine utopias to counter this moment and so that’s my plan for next year. It can and will be better and that type of thinking also ameliorates present moment. Happy holidays! P.s. I have greatly appreciated your writing so thank you. P.p.s. I haven’t read the count of Monte Cristo but it’s my holiday plan too.
I especially liked the statement that for those of us with means, hope is a moral imperative. Thank you.
That struck me too; I had never thought of it that way. Thanks, David, happy end of 2022!
And to you! Thank you.

Bon courage!
This was lovely and correct but also one of my main take aways is must get dog.
I'm not gonna lie -- you probably should. Dogs are life.
