Generally speaking, zebras tend to think in terms of black
and white. But ever so often, there comes along a zebra who
is capable of thinking in terms of the whiter shades of pale
and the paler shades of white. Such a zebra wonders about
Heidegger's concept of 'Geworfenheit', which leads it to ask:
"Why was I thrown into the world as just another zebra
instead of a magnificent thoroughbred and a Triple
Crown winner like Secretariat?"
