But in these plethoric times when there is too much course stuff for everybody and the struggle for life takes the form of competitive advertisment and the effort to fill your neighbor's eye, there is no urgent demand either for personal courage, sound nerves, or stark beauty... We find ourselves by accident... Always before these times the bulk of people did not over eat themselves, because they couldn't, whether they wanted to or not, and all but a very few were kept fit by unavoidable exercise and personal danger. Now , if he only pitch his standard low enough and keep free from pride, almost anyone can achieve a form of excess. You can go thru contemporary life fudging and evading , indulging and slacking, never really hungry nor frightened nor passionately stirred....your highest moment a mere sentimental orgasm, and your first real contact with the primary and elemental necessities, the sweat of your death-bed. ~H G Wells
