THE IMP OF THE PERSERSE - ACT II

There is a wonderful short story called "The Imp of the Perverse" written by 19th century American author Edgar Allan Poe.

In the story Poe focuses on the amazingly pervasive and really confounding human self-destructive impulse.   

He calls it The Imp of the Perverse.

Cheating…


What do ya say?

Can you relate?
Ever shoot yourself in the foot?
