Useless actions
One thing that divides Man from the animals is our ability to perform useless actions in a graceful and beautiful way. That’s the only explanation for Balanchine, or Van Beethoven, or this bloke fucking about on his bike.
Most of your actions are useless, I suspect. Does it even occur to you to do them gracefully?
Oh, it occurs to me. I think the grace gene skipped over me, though. Which makes my being born on a Tuesday a cosmic joke.
