Hubris

                                                   I find it necessary to introduce, to at least a few of my Gentle Readers, the concept of Hubris (also spelled hybris and pronounced YOU BRISS), which is, "Excessive Pride and/or Self-Confidence" .   Some of us know of >hubris< because of the story of "Icarus" who fashioned wings  whose feathers were glued by wax.   Icarus neared the Sun and the wax melted sending him plummeting earthward toward a certain demise .  

                          My "Western Civilization" Professor, Dr. Langer, spent some time on this .   Icarus, he said, sought to be as the Gods, meaning, he desired to FLY, as the Gods Fly and when the Gods became aware of his Effort, they got PISSED and PUNISHED HIM WITH DEATH .    Dr. Langer continued with the Concept of Hubris,=  Icarus had committed Hubris, thinking that HE, an earthly Mortal, could achieve what the Gods were capable of---clearly the gods would have none of it .  

                        Dr. Langer did not stop at that point but supplemented the story by adding >Nemesis< .   Nemesis is the actions taken to punish Hubris and is often stated this way ;  "When one commits hubris, Nemesis results" .   Some of us know that Nemesis is the Greek goddess of Vengeance, and YOU CANNOT FUCK WITH NEMESIS .  She aint "All Powerful" but She is close, oh so fucking close .

                       Trump's thinks he's GOD, his actions are PROOF .    Will the Gods allow him such GROTESQUE Delusions and their ACTUAL Manifestations .   Doubtful ~~~~~ .
