The terrible news of the massacre of so many people in Jos in Nigeria over the weekend got the day off to a depressing start. It's not so good travelling into work with a bitter sense of the hopelessness of our oftentimes benighted species. Of course, living and working where I have the good fortune to helped me gain a sense of balance as the day went on.
But that awful, aching idea that for most people sheer misery is the due portion wouldn't quite go away.
