About Tree of Woe
Nutritionists recommend that every adult receive at least 20 grams of woe per day. Traditional hunter-gatherer and horticultural societies often received twice the required allowance simply through the activities of daily living and dying. Especially the dying. Well, the living was also bad.
In any case, the modern Western lifestyle does not provide nearly enough woe. The widespread deficiency of this vital nutrient has led to endemic optimism, consumerism, materialism, narcissism, utopianism, and other syndromes throughout our population.
