A blog post by the creator of the interesting webcomic and site "Lovecraft is Missing." It's worth reading the post in full - or you can read the rest of this post first, and see the kicker that speaks to all of us:
"That dog had only one thing one its mind : chase that rabbit. It was doing what it most wanted to do and enjoying every minute of it. I'm sure he would have preferred a different outcome, but you can't outrun the big tire forever.
And that settled any questions in my mind. We all have a big freaking tire bearing down on us. It behooves us to run as hard and fast as we can, to postpone the big crunch, but we can't outrun it forever. When it comes my time to go down, I'm going down like that dog.
