Icarus knew that all his hard work would end in ashes.

However despite this knowledge, Icarus rushed forward into flight striving to make it as far as he could before he crashes.

Because despite the folly of his plan he knew that he had to make this attempt if only for his own satisfaction of knowing that he tried.

Icarus knew that he would be burned from his attempted flight, but even as his crafted wings began to melt from the sun's unforgiving heat he laughed in satisfaction despite the pain from the melted wax that he had tried what no other would dare to attempt even as he began to cry.
