The Human Comedy

A species that can blind itself to truth, that can plunge so enthusiastically along roads that lead nowhere but to tragedy, can be amusing in it's recklessness.

As amusing as the great movie comedians like Buster Keaton, Laurel and hardy, and many others, who knew that a foot stuck in a bucket is funny, that a head stuck in a bucket is funnier, and trying to stubbornly move a grand piano up a set of stairs obviously too steep and narrow to allow sucess is the hilarious distillation of the human experience.

Laugh with humanity, not at it, for you are as big a fool as anyone, and probably bigger than most.

You've been stuck in more than your share of buckets.
