It all comes down to the fact that he has been 'given' everything he has, or ever will have, for that matter.

All of us go through our teen years, for better or worse, thinking we are immortal and invincible. The vast majority of us realize that this is not true, once we meet our first real failure. By keeping failure from bush, his family and friends have established an individual that still retains his teenage ardor for personal invincibility. (This is particualrly vile in the fact that bush has failed in everyting he has done, he just has never had to accept failure).

Nturally, this sets one up for a pretty hard fall; after all the higher you go, the farther it is to the ground. I'm helping to push him off his pedestal and am enjoying it.
