Push past this thought. Take the final step you know awaits your reaction. It’s not parody. There are, honest-to-God, people like this aplenty in our world. Behold, we, as they, are borne back:

”Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter—-tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther ... And one fine morning—- So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
