Always Look On The Bright Side of Life - Monty Python's Life of Brian (1979)
Happy Easter and Passover! I present you my very favorite Monty Python song, which seems apropos, not only for this holiday, but for the time we're in. It's very easy to feel despair that things are falling apart and people are getting away with treason (literally) without consequences. Every medium, including this website, have article after article reinforcing that belief.
So it is subversive to look on the bright side of life right now. It takes a leap of faith to believe that the arc of history bends towards justice. But isn't that what the Easter holiday is about?
