self-destruction, The Mechanics of Virtue, Matt Berry, aphorism 141
141
One means of self-destruction is our sacrificing the end for the thrilling display found through increasing the force or velocity of the means. We did not realize that we had two ends, one of time and space and one of an identity achieved thereby, the latter of which often remains hidden to the intellect and which may in fact be the impetus to the former.
