If one of us could ascend to the heavenly realm and for a few hours accompany the divine on His daily rounds, he would see below millions of his fellow humans busily hurling themselves into the passions, sports, and action of those around him.

And it is this, this glorious weakness, this dependence of ours on each other, that makes some of us usually heroes and fools at the same time.
