Men realize that The Quirk exists nowhere else in nature. Not in other animals; not in plants; not in the laws of physics; nowhere else he can see in the universe does The Quirk exist except in man – and yet after thousands of years he still will not call it what it is?! Should not someone find that mildly interesting?
Oh, men do have names for it. It is not that they ignore The Quirk, (not possible), no they run to it. They wallow in it. They relish it, (no choice), it is just that they refuse, or are not allowed to call it what it is.
Who knows? Life probably has some purpose for this charade, but since everyone knows what is really going on in public, (and goes along with it), why are they not permitted in private, just to themselves, to acknowledge the reality of the situation? Why forbid actors, who know they are making-believe, to admit even to themselves the truth of what is going on? Since The Quirk is so obvious and omnipresent in everyone’s life, why the prohibition against men simply acknowledging it for what it is?
The mass of humanity inherently has no interest whatever in the reality behind what has above been said about The Quirk. In fact there is an innate mortal disinclination to even hear it talked about in such a cold blooded manner. The Quirk is the animus of the civilized life that is man’s alone. The joie de vivre to all the cultural activities he enjoys, and it is as though men instinctively resist or will ignore things said about it that come too close to its correct description.
Skoal to The Quirk!
