The Human Machine

By: Bennett, Arnold

It has never struck you that you do possess a machine! Oh, blind! Oh, dull! It hasnever struck you that you have at hand a machine wonderful beyond allmechanisms in sheds, intricate, delicately adjustable, of astounding and miraculouspossibilities, interminably interesting! That machine is yourself. 'This fellow ispreaching. I won't have it!' you exclaim resentfully. Dear sir, I am not preaching, and, even if I were, I think you would have it. I think I can anyhow keep hold of yourbutton for a while, though you pull hard. I am not preaching. I am simply bent oncalling your attention to a fact which has perhaps wholly or partially escaped you-namely, that you are the most fascinating bit of machinery that ever was. You doyourself less than justice. It is said that men are only interested in themselves. Thetruth is that, as a rule, men are interested in every mortal thing except themselves.They have a habit of taking themselves for granted, and that habit is responsible fornine-tenths of the boredom and despair on the face of the planet
