Excess (n.) is a force that directs life always elsewhere. This great exponent of excess inscribes extravagance within an economy that permits escape only at the expense of life itself.
Excess (n.) is empowered neither by a sense of adventure and discovery, nor by possibilities and opportunities, nor by healing nor pain due to the boundless and infinite suffering of God.
Excess (n.) is not something that opens the self to an other who understands, nor does it give to an other who needs and demands.
Excess (n.) is not something that reaches out. Its disorienting effect makes it essentially aimless. It leads nowhere and cannot be written because it ends in nothing.
Excess (n.) is the surplus energy every living system ends up with and cannot use to grow; it must be squandered, gloriously in festivals and sacrifice or catastrophically in war.
