1) The imagery takes me somewhere I’ve never been. Yanks me there forcibly.
2) It’s flawless. How could any of these sentences be improved for compactness, clarity, or impact?
3) Funny.
4) Flows. Each paragraph takes you to the next.

It’s one of those articles that every human on earth should really read, just because it would make their lives a little better.

So thank you.
