One more time Ernest Becker:

“All living organisms are condemned to perversity, to the narrowness of being mere fragments of a larger totality that overwhelms them, which they cannot understand or truly cope with – yet they must still live and struggle in. We still must ask, then. in the spirit of the wise old Epictetus, what kind of perversity is fitting for man.”

What kind of perversity is fitting for you and your surroundings, dear reader?
