I have an idea how Apisa feels. It is quite common.
He watches the exciting news breaking from moment to moment with breathless urgency and feels that he ought to be a part of it. Lining up two-foot putts, scrambling out of bunkers, hacking out of the light rough, scratching his balls, drying the pots, looking out of the window, poking a fork prong through the salt cellar holes, stirring the sugar into his coffee and the few thousand other banal activities which daily life consists of, is not conducive to his sense of self esteem.
As that it is a very important aspect of his mental furniture it is necessary for him to feel a part of, and a player in, the important matters of the day the news broadcasts have brought to his attention and his contributions are intended to allow him to feel his significance in the general scheme of things.
He's in denial of his almost total insignificance. I can't say total because there is always the possibilty that the forensic researchers conducting an autopsy on his corpse will find something to get excited about although I cannot imagine what it might be.
