HFS! A win for humanity! The Wild Boars are rescued

Thank you Universe. Thank you God. Thank you Allah. Thank you Kuraokami, deity of rain (and snow, well). Thank you Thai Navy Seals. Thank you King Maha Vajiralongkorn Bodindradebayavarangkun (Wow. Just try to pronounce that, I dare you). Thank you to the multitudes of divers and volunteers from all over the world who went to Thailand to help. Thank you to the boys and their coach for not giving up. Thank you to everyone involved.

How Rescuers Pulled Off the Impossible in a Treacherous Thai Cave

Fuck yes!!! I cried when reading this article, even hours after knowing everyone was safe.

From the NYT: “We are not sure if this is a miracle, or science, or what,” the Thai Navy SEALs posted on their Facebook page. “All the 13 Wild Boars are now out of the cave.”

I didn't think it would end like this. Not from the beginning when they were missing. Not from the middle when they were trapped. I don't think I'm much exaggerating when I say the entire world collectively held its breath after the first two children emerged, waiting for something to go wrong. But no. Everything went right!

And the moral of the story is this: Life is unpredictable. Enjoy it, and don't complain, people. In fact, don't complain about a goddamn thing. Whatever you are going through, someone else is worse off. Stop whining and have some fucking compassion.

(Okay, I'm not sure that moral exactly relates to this particular story but I'm not wrong. And so what if I need to take my own advice? I'm trying, people.)

And also, do not go in caves. Like, ever.
