Oh sure, Twin Peaks is full of the darkest evil in all creation, as metaphysical creatures use human beings as their playthings in increasingly cruel ways, but these are always balanced out by the lightest, neatest little moments.
And Agent Cooper's advice to Harry in the original series - that every day, give yourself a present, don't plan for it, don't expect it, just give something to yourself - is so clear-eyed and smart, it is obvious that it'll always pay off if you follow it.
It doesn't take much - it might just be a chocolate bar or a break from some mind-numbing task - but even on your worst days, do something nice for yourself. You always deserve it, and it makes all of life just a tiny bit better.
The lesson learned: Give yourself a present every day. You'll never regret it.
