THE HAPPY CONFLAGRATION

What happens to those who try to
warn the present age?

It happened that a fire broke out
backstage in a theater. The clown
came out to inform the public.
They thought is was just a jest
and applauded. He repeated his
warning, they shouted even
louder. So I think the world will
come to an end amid general
applause from all the wits, who
believe that it is a joke.

-Kierkegaard
