Tis the season for delusions

Brave New World (The Star)
11 August 2011

Theres the total garland of us here in this happy place of misinterpretation as well as madness, though whilst my irrationality is sincerely benign, my associate inhabitants have been not so harmless.

______________________

I LIKE to think of myself as the reasonable person. A person who would think logically most of the time as well as have decisions formed upon said logic.
But, around this time of the year, something happens to me as well as my usual level-headed self is replaced by the blithering idiot who mouths off such nonsensical stupidities which people around me behind away with fright in their eyes.
No, this state of being is not the result of low sugar levels brought about by fasting; you spin similar to this since the English Premier League starts this weekend. And this year, similar to each year for as long as you can remember, the beginning of the season fills me with hope so tall which you have Don Quixote demeanour similar to the enthusiast saint of sceptics.
I was chatting to the friend not long ago well, you was babbling, unequivocally about the brand new season as well as how vehement you was. He dismissed me by saying there can be no thrill in the joining where usually dual teams keep winning.
I agreed, though as well as here my irrationality becomes apparent this year will be different, you declared. This year, Spurs will be champions.
Every year, for the space of about dual weeks you spin similar to this. Then the season starts as well as you am flung out of Cloud Cuckoo Land to crash with the resounding bump in the being where Manchester Bleeding United wins the darned thing again.
This year, however, you am not alone in Cloud Cuckoo Land. Theres the total garland of us here in this happy place of misinterpretation as well as madness. The difference, however, is which whilst my irrationality is sincerely benign, my associate inhabitants have been not so harmless.
You see, you have delusions w! hich Spu rs have been essentially joining winners, though these other chaps around me have been under the impression which there is the large Christian plot to grab gullible Muslims as well as spin them to the approach of Christ.
They go around wi! th the red obscurity in their eyes as well as they see Christian conspiracies everywhere.
A fundraiser for HIV patients? No, no, it is the function where Christians have been guileful as well as converting Muslims. Lack of evidence which such proselytising is occurring puts no damper upon their fervour. Who needs contribution when you have conviction?
My friends in Cloud Cuckoo Land stew in the mouth as they have military reports against the disagreeable Christians, their bile drizzling upon the floors of military stations country wide. And they howl for brand new laws to have it the crime to proselytise.
Not once do they uncover any shred of explanation to behind their claims. Not once do they demeanour central as well as ask the question: if Muslims have been withdrawal the religion, what is it which you have been you do wrong?
Oh no, explanation is for wimps, as well as introspection for those who dont have the convenient victim during hand.
As you lay here in Cloud Cuckoo Land, looking during their infantile antics as well as listening to their obtuse rants, you am beholden which the season is starting so shortly as well as the happy daze will be accessible each week.
On Saturday, you will watch with bated exhale as well as hope which you beat Everton in the first game. And if you do, maybe you can go upon as well as win the title for the first time in half the century.
Yes, you admit, you am being delusional as well as not the small stupid, though during least my misinterpretation as well as irrationality hurts no one.
