Fair Play

I think I might have a clue as to what makes the world go round. Unfairness. Yes - unfairness. The gross imbalance between effort and result, load and carriage, appearance and deception. It's all such a tragic mess that threatens to tip us off the planet and launch us head-first into the sun...but no...that doesn't happen. Our miserable lurching into doom and gloom is thwarted - again, by the same thing that threatened to send us into the boiler room in the first place - unfairness. It's unfair to itself by being fair in how unevenly distributed it sometimes (but not always) is. The same sheer unfairness that applauds the undeserving and knocks unconscious those who try and try and try and try - that's the concept that holds our pathetic existences intact.

Quotable quote: When you make an expensive mistake, learn a valuable lesson.
