The last four weeks, whichever side of the assorted big and small arguments that have been going on, have not really shown the world in a great light, I don’t think. Be it politics, blockbuster movies, cultural divisions or social media, it’s as if a big magnifying glass has been held up to human beings, and there’s been some realisation that we might all be different.

Even if you tend to be quite shy, and it all feels a bit humblebraggy, I think it’s very much worth it on this occasion. Please: let’s come up with a bumper list of positivity and goodness. Let’s just list a tiny snapshot of the small nuggets of goodness that human beings bring to the world. One Of The Three Most Important People in the World: It’s you! Ted: Yeah! It’s us![to Bill] Ted: Who are we? Ted: Bill, I think they want us to say something. Bill: What should I say? Bill: Be excellent to each other. Be excellent to each other, folks.
