Man! You have it good!



Puck looked over the sea of souls before him - a vast stadium of sports supporters were before him - divided in name and colour only. He enjoyed visiting such events - he found that the energetic resonance was exhilarating. If only they could cheer like this for something of substance, of real importance, he thought momentarily.

It was essentially the paradox of Humanity: the gift to be able to get things completely wrong, to miss the point, to choose unwisely, to falsely judge, to assume the worst, to see through the glass darkly, to misinterpret and misunderstand … the divine right to be an ignoble ass - or, to become a god - Man! You have it good!

But he knew better. His elven ears were twitching with the erupting noise. The scoreboard clicked - and the animated mass explosively enlivened one more time.
