Americans’ Paradoxical Behavior
One of the generalities most often noted about Americans is that we are a restless, a dissatisfied, a searching people. We spend our time searching for security, and hate it when we get it. For the most part we are an intemperate people: We【C1】______ too much when we can, drink too much, indulge our【C2】______ too much. Even in our so-called virtues we are【C3】______: a teetotaler is not content to drink — 【C4】______ stop all the drinking in the world; a vegetarian【C5】______ us would outlaw the eating of meat. We work【C6】______, and many die under the strain; and then to【C7】______ for that we play with a violence just as suicidal. The【C8】______ is that we seem to be in a state of turmoil【C9】______, both physically and mentally. We are able to【C10】______ that our Government is weak, stupid, overbearing, dishonest, 【C11】______, and at the same time we are deeply【C12】______ that it is the best Government in the world, and we would like to【C13】______ it upon everyone else.
Americans overindulge their children and do not like them; the children【C14】______ are overly dependent and full of hate for their parents. Americans are【C15】______ kind and hospitable and open with both guests and【C16】______ and yet they will make a wide circle around a man 【C17】______ on the pavement rather than become involved. Fortunes are【C18】______ getting cats out of trees and dogs out of sewer pipes; but a girl【C19】______for help in the street draws only slammed doors, closed【C20】______ and silence.
Americans seems to live and breathe and function by paradox; but in nothing are we so paradoxical as in our passionate belief in our own myths. We truly believe ourselves to be natural-born mechanics and do-it-yourselves. We spend our lives in motorcars, yet most of us — a great many of us at least — do not know enough about a car to check the gas tank when the motor fails. Our believed myths are everywhere: We shout that we are a nation of laws, not men — and then proceed to bread every law we can if we can get away with it. From puberty we are preoccupied with sex; but our courts, our counselors, and our psychiatrists are dealing constantly with cases of sexual failure or charges of frigidity or impotence, which amounts to the same thing.
