I'm tired.
And I'm definitely not having a good day, despite a lot of things going better than I was expecting.
The main reason, I think, is the completely illogical behavior of people here.
Either my emotions are completely messed or they are stupid.
Maybe both.
Probably both.
Oh look... it's raining.
This morning I have to go down to the city because I have an appointment to do all the paperwork to sell my scooter.
I'd rather stay at home.
Pope Francis apologises "to those who were 'hurt by the use of a word'".
Do you know that first commandment that says "thou shalt not mention the name of God" etc...etc...?
You see? Even God is a bit of a touchy guy who gets angry if you use a word.
Now I suppose I get to swear his name freely and then apologize because I didn't know he was sooo touchy.
Guess what? It's raining. 🌧️⛈️🌧️
And to think that in the last two days it almost seemed like it was May...
never mind, let's go back to November. Again.
@juc ne "L'alba di tutto" di Graeber e Wengrow si legge tra l'altro che "Alla metà del XX secolo, l’antropologo britannico A.M. Hocart ipotizzò che la monarchia e le istituzioni governative fossero scaturite da rituali studiati per incanalare le energie della vita dal cosmo verso la società umana. A un certo punto disse persino che «i primi re devono essere stati re morti» e che gli individui oggetto di questo onore erano diventati sovrani sacri solo al proprio funerale", stiamo un po' regredendo mi sa.
@j0nes se consideri che quell'altro partito al governo ha ancora la fiamma che esce dalla bara del duce nel simbolo...direi che questa cosa dei re morti ha molto senso.
