This is one of my all time Triumph favorites. I find it sort of ironic in that society has us believe that we should all help one another, but in reality everyone is out for themselves. There are of course some outliers. Like a stranger who jumps off the subway platform to save someone who has fallen off. But, in terms of being an "ordinary" man. I think that the ordinary man is one who recognizes the falsehoods of equal justice, fairness, and equal opportunity. For the ordinary man knows that these things do not really exist. It's a mind game.
