Yes, Destiny: you are beautiful. It’s the rest of us who are ugly
Destiny, you are beautiful. And that’s not an opinion of mine; it is a self-evident FACT. The rest of us out here, though? We’re the ugly ones. And we just don’t deserve you at all…

But before turning to the topic at hand… please bear with me while I indulge you with a small memory from my childhood.
The year was 1977… actually, I can even tell you the precise date. It must have been Tuesday, August 16, 1977. Early evening. I was six years old, sitting in the back of my father’s car – a ‘peacock-blue’ Triumph Herald (to this day, I can still almost smell the leather upholstery) and we had just pulled into a petrol station to fill her up.
