To this end, the current Bears incarnation has been woefully substandard. The Spirit is angry, and its primal outrage is drowning in a sea of boos from disappointed fans. Bears fans do not discuss past days of superbowl greatness out of nostalgia or a desire to rekindle lost pride. We compare ourselves to our heroic past not to revitalize our flagging present, but to deepen our understanding of pain by setting unrealistic goals. Through our desire for pain, we demonstrate our devotion.
True courage is found in devoting oneself body and soul to a profoundly unworthy cause.
