Well, like dealing with people who make you unhappy, being stressed about things you have no control over, and working soul-numbing jobs. –Oh. –Then, gradually, as we endure these hardships and accept them as normal, that's when we've finally earned the right to get drunk and be emotionally distant from our families. –Just like my father. I love you, Dad.
