~Sophocles, (495-405 BCE)

True, but so what Soph? Better the misery of knowledge than the bliss of ignorance. What honour is there in gaily dancing in delusion? Nay, nay, and again I say nay; wallow in noble misery. Come on Soph mate. Be a man. Face the horrible truth. What? He did? Oh. Well good for him!
Of course, WE, 24 centuries later, at least have good old rock’n'roll, instead of that insipid comb and tissue paper that you lot had (I am guessing here). And booze is cheap now at Lidl’s. Plus good old unemployment benefit!
