Charles Darwin And The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
In a letter dated October 1, 1861, Charles Darwin wrote to Charles Lyell:
“But I am very poorly today and very stupid and hate everybody and everything.”
It’s nice to know that even the most brilliant among us have bad days, surly days, downer days doubtful days, and days they just hate it all. It’s part of the human process.

Just a friendly Friday reminder that everyone has bad days. Imagine what he’d say if he heard some of our politicians discussing his theories…
