It's like you can never do the right thing by someone if you've stopped sleeping with them. You can't see the way back, or through, or round, however hard you try.

See where random acts of kindness get you? To fucking funerals, that's where.

Surely people who are happy should look happy, at all times, no matter how much money they have or how uncomfortable their shoes are or how little their child is sleeping; and people who are doing OK but have still not found their soul-mate should look, I don't know, well but anxious, like Billy Crystal in When Harry Met Sally; and people who are desperate should wear something, a yellow ribbon maybe, which would allow them to be identified by similarly desperate people.
