A little bit of chaos, please!

   There is an unquestioned human appetite for intensity, and though we can exist without them, intense emotions make us feel that we are living.

    Satisfaction of the human need to be bouleversé, carried “out of one’s mind”, seems to be provided for in most societies and can be traced, in theory at least, back to very early times.
