I found a photocopy of this acticle on the kitchen counter this morning. I think my sister left it there.
The sad thing is that, if my current course is leading for a trap like the one in the article, I'm really already too far down the path to get out.

If I don't, I might feel that I have wasted the last four years already.
A fire broke out backstage in a theatre. The Clown came out to warn the public; they thought it was a joke and applauded. He repeated it; the acclaim was even greater. I think that's just how the world will come to an end: to general applause from wits who believe it's a joke.
