the rooftop falls and massacres abound

you've asked some good questions in this piece--but i don't think greed is the answer to every single thing.  but maybe that's just me.  i'm pretty sure you'd be the only one holding on to your sanity, though it is a good point that many others may be willingly losing their own sanity.  when you say you "could give a fuck about baseball..."--couldn't that be "couldn't give a fuck..."?  No, i don't play those games, either, though i have shot hoops from time to time, but it really doesn't seem to be a great description of someones' soul or anything like that...you're trying to beat it?  you're trying to beat it?  hmm...ahh...how can you possibly beat something that's going to kill you in the end, eh?  yes, i am more of an escapist myself...yes, i think that would make someone crazy, weather or not the doctor would say so, in this day and age--trying to "beat it" instead of running and hiding from it, whatever "it" is.  ahh...how is everyone in the world basically irrational though...i mean, "looking out for number one", though it may be selfish, is not necessarily by definition or philosophy irrational...maybe you could explain it...to me...anyway, otherwise a technically sound piece, of course, though i am of course no "authority."  and i will say what they say when you leave walgeens:  "be well."

ha-ha-ha...

well that's kind of what i'm saying

if you look at the world from a distance it looks wild, chaotic.  irrational.  but on an individual level people do things for a reason.  good reason bad reason, does it make sense?  not always.  but the body doesn't act without a command from the brain.  so someone gets jealous and kills a spouse
good? no. rational? to them.  on some level they want to hurt or kill them because they're angry
