10. terror and pity

I am wont to feel pity at times for people so deluded as Graham and I am reminded that Aristotle said the cathartic emotions of viewing a tragedy are both terror and pity. I feel terror as well and so Graham and all the other villains infecting our nation are truly tragic figures, which is actually a hopeful sign as the tragic figure is always brought down by hubris, which seems to be all that drives them. Greed and the thirst for power cannot completely explain such behavior. People can be greedy and power hungry but if they are smart and know themselves they needn't fail, but hubris is a fatal flaw and will always bring them down. I just wish it would be soon before they do any more damage to the rest of us, or the planet itself.
