Wonders are many in the world, and the wonder of all is man. With his bit in the teeth of the storm and his faith in a fragile prow, far he sails, where the waves leap white-fanged, wroth at his plan. And he has his will of the earth by the strength of his hand on the plough. -- Sophocles

Edmund Burke

This reflects the human condition in mostly western societies- I thought I'd share it with you.
Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it. Ellen Goodman: This was Quote of the day on Google
