No. 4
It seems that we are most busy when we do not do the one thing we ought to do; most greedy when we cannot have the one thing we really want; most hurried when we can never arrive; most self-righteous when irrevocably in the wrong.
There is apparently a link between excess and unattainability.
-- Eric Hoffer --
from The Passionate State of Mind
Why excess? Perhaps we hope to distract ourselves?
