And even though there might be sad content making this happen, the feeling that you're left with is one that is quite good, quite hopeful, clarifying and uplifting.

The malady is ludicrous, sad, excruciating and, above all, instantly diagnosable.

It's up to you to decide to stay parked there or to turn around and drive out.
