A Useless Man

From Tales of Madness, Vol.III, by Tom Ball (2010)

    His friends said he was extremely clever but wondered why he didn’t do anything.
    They told him, “You throw it all away.”
    They said he was useless the way he was...
    But he said “Life is a joke. And I can’t bring myself to do anything but sit and watch.”
    I said, “He was a typical intellectual of the 22nd century who was paralyzed into inaction. Our true leaders did not appear on the world stage but were apathetic instead.”
    And the world economy spiralled down in trade wars, military wars and madness. Finally everyone was dirt poor and had nothing. It was just like the fall of Rome. And everyone was useless.
