I stayed up late watching a movie about a Dutch potatoe farmer instead of writing my blog like I usually do. 

There’s quote I quite like:

Americans Will Always Do the Right Thing — After Exhausting All the Alternatives

this felt very true of the movie, The Promised Land. The protagonist was badly punished for each choice he made that he knew to be wrong. He wasn’t exactly rewarded for rectifying those choices, but his punishment ceased, and he could feel better.

This feels accurate to the way of the world.
That’s a good thing
