We have a name, both ridiculous and profound, which in turn bestows upon us the qualities of ridiculous profundity, and simultaneously, profound ridiculosity. To exist in and between these paradoxical realms is to benefit from the advantages of a permanent state of confusion, in which our hysterical paroxysms are neither of laughter nor of rage, but are indistinguishably both.
Perhaps understandably, we have no discernable rules. Yet occasionally we may utter grandiloquent statements, thusly:
