What happens to those who want to warn their age?
One day, a fire broke out in the backstage of the theater. The clown came to the stage to give the news. Everyone thought it was a joke and started clapping. As the clown continued to warn, the applause accelerated. I guess the end of the world will come amid rising applause from those who thought it was all a joke.
Soren Kierkegaard, “Either/Or, Part I”
