Whilst the article infuriated me your reply made up for its irritation thus you are today my mentor.

Long ago I decided that the world which in turns confuses, delights, depresses and encourages, sometimes with kaleidoscopic unpredictability could be considered some vast taunting machinery engineered by a malevolent demiurge but that way would lie, at best, self pity and bitterness. Instead I decided I would treat it as a university to which I had unwittingly won a lifetime scholarship; everyone was professor, every situation I might consider difficult simply a surprise test.

When I run into a wall of frustration I realise I've forgotten about the university.
