    My son is 8 years old. Every summer when he is drenched in sweat, I tell him to enjoy his coolest summer.

    I hope things turn around.

      Please stop filling your son with existential dread, he’s far too young. Sometimes things are better left unsaid, it’s not like he has any polluting to stop.

        Existential dread is the correct emotional response to inevitable, existential danger.

        Feeling safe for the sake of feeling safe is just a comfortable delusion.
