We’ve all been there, little buddy. I know precisely what you’re going through. Found a silkworm up to the same tricks the other day. And don’t even get me started on the cow I caught milking itself earlier this week. Shudder at the thought.

Anyway, you’re not alone, is the point. But there’s a lesson here: We’re the kind of creatures who just wanna give a lot. As much as we can, sometimes more. And when you want to give so much of yourself, well, it’s not long before you unravel. There’s nothing left, buddy. Nothing left for you. Nothing left for anyone. We’re so preoccupied by our drive to offer everything we’ve got that we don’t realize we’re actually caught in a damaging loop of personal mutilation - of self-destruction. Do you see what I’m saying, little buddy? You’ve got to keep something for yourself. You deserve that much. We all do. Alright?

Baaaaah.

Exactly.
