CoT:
“What our culture calls a mid-life crisis is actually a Sad Clown’s effort to self-prescribe a remedy for his joyless inertia. Instead of filling the holes in his life, the Sad Clown concludes that he is a man whose wife and job are making him unhappy when, in fact, he is an unhappy man with a wife and a job.” – Dredd and OBT in Freed to Lead
