All's right with the world

"Men are disturbed not by things that happen, but by their opinions of the things that happen." — Epictetus (55-135)

On this day of turkeys, football games and public prayers, I hope you'll realize, and be thankful that — despite all the apparent turmoils of life — all is right with the world.

The year's at the spring
And day's at the morn;
Morning's at seven;
The hillside's dew-pearled;
The lark's on the wing;
The snail's on the thorn;
God's in His heaven —
All's right with the world.

— Robert Browning (1812-1889)
