Mad by a thing

To make sense of the world, at times, one must understand that a man will let himself be driven mad by a thing, for the thrill of it. We can see it play out around us, although current company may not be as prone to it as that of the past. We may be fooled into wondering where it has gone, but this usually precedes the realisation that today, it was us, and nothing less than grace can draw us back again.
