i often get the same feeling when i find myself walking down the street grinning
from ear to ear for no apparent reason. even someone purposefully stepping on a
cola can, just to hear the crinkle crushing sound it makes when it flattens beneath
their boot, can leave me exasperated.
what a species! the list of incongruencies is endless.
what about someone waving at an unknown person driving down the road just to see
their reaction and afterwards laughing at themselves for doing such a silly
thing.
homo sapiens pride themselves on having the "amazing" ability to be rational,
but, in a manner of speaking, the ape quite often escapes into the wilderness.
like the chimpanzee, at a zoo, who climbs into an upside down bucket and starts
crawling around like a tortoise to the fascination of the primates staring at it
from the other side of the fence.
it is exactly this type of irrationality...
