Is being good, dull?
You've heard people say that if we were all good, life would be pretty dull. Nevertheless, not being wholly good is taking a considerable toll in the 1980s.
It's interesting how cliches can muddle larger issues. Sometimes it's suggested a little devilment adds spice to life. Experimentation can frequently take on a mischievous and benign appearance. Not being so "strait-laced" promises a lot more fun!
Yet, there is a hard side to the fevered pitch of human excitement. Alcoholism, unhappy marriages, accidents and injuries, poor health, along with the toll of aging and debilitation, often bring even the merriest and most footloose adventurers back to the harsh mortality of human existence.
