ONE OF MY FAVORITE CARTOONS AS A KID WAS “TOM AND JERRY“ AND SO THIS ONE IS A THROWBACK TO MY DAYS AS A KID, GOBBLING UP SUGARY CEREAL ON SATURDAY MORNINGS AS I WATCHED TOM CHASE JERRY ALL OVER CREATION WITHOUT EVER CATCHING HIM.

BUT THAT‘S THE POINT OF THE SHOW, RIGHT? TOM WOULD BE NOTHING WITHOUT JERRY, JERRY NOTHING WITHOUT TOM - THEY ARE TROUBLE FOR EACH OTHER, BUT THEY NEED EACH OTHER IN ORDER TO BE WHO THEY ARE.

I WONDER IF OUR TROUBLES ARE LIKE THAT. PERHAPS THE THING WE WANT TO RID OUR LIVES OF IS THE VERY THING THAT HELPS MAKE US WHO WE ARE?
