Laughter of the gods

Is it therefore possible to live a life in which your life is manifest only by what is not you? A far lesser self, as it were.

You might be wakened by such a thought, that you have behaved for the most part through the offices of your baser instincts.

For behaving on behalf of what you thought was your own good, and in your best interests, you acted in ways contrary to your nature, in no way consistent with who you really are.

For you are another and your thoughts are made of stone.

Placed in the wall of a ruined abbey in western France, you go on with your thinking as if you have forever.
