does anyone really find something tragically noble about human folly?

are we more romantic to ourselves, during a grand thelma-and-louise finale over the olduvai cliff?

would we despise ourselves for wanting a simple, contented life, when a mad rush for a chimera of glory obviously has such a strong attraction?

are we so angry at the conditions imposed on us for survival, that we would rather crash'n'burn than power down?

I think the way our cultures glorify heroic burnout is unhealthy.

Bush is a symptom, not the disease.
