with good deeds; particularly my kind neighbors, on this cold Edmonton winter day. I poked my head out, after watching the rest of Bergman’s excellent Scenes from a Marriage 6 part-tv series (probably the ultimate artistic statement about marriage and male-female relationships), to see what was going on outside and my driveway had been magically shovelled!
No, nothing surprises me anymore. After reading Humankind last year, I find that the book’s thesis is quite true: people are better than we often think or predict. Too often we think or suspect the worst of one another, only to be surprised and proven wrong.
