23 The Mind is its own place; it can make heaven out of hell and hell out of
heaven http://realini.blogspot.com/2022/02/unique-in-world.html?q=unique+in+the+world
A time must
come when an analysis, or at least some thought must be given to the past and
the mistakes made – albeit there is this book which has a magnanimous title Mistakes
Were Made But Not By Me http://realini.blogspot.com/2016/01/mistakes-were-made-but-not-by-me-by.html and we all agree with that – trying
to get some closure, after penitence and saying sorry, but first one needs to
admit to it, and if retiring to a monastery for self-laceration is not the
answer, still, remorse and repentance would be required…
For those
who are religious, they have this notion, nay, strong belief that they will
face their Maker, with Peter coming first with the keys at the gates of
paradise to let you in or reject you – by the way, how does it work, are you
vetted before arriving at the gates, or this is the place of the big miracle,
the answer to a life of sin or munificence, perhaps a combination of the two
and other shenanigans and triumphs….
Purgatory
does not exists in the bible, does it, it was invented by Dante for artistic
purposes, or is it a scholar’s idea that there should be a buffer zone, no
man’s land where they consider your application before they give you asylum or
they send you to the hot place, the very hot area where the jokes go like this
I forgot which
character, maybe it was Ceausescu, he was clearly the main figure in many of
the blagues, indeed, in most of them, notwithstanding the fact that his acolytes,
the militia and others would star in some vignettes, who visits heaven and hell
and in the lower part, he is shown a big vat with smelly substance, which I
think was shit, it must have been, and more besides, because we are talking
hell, right
And the
local tyrant is considering his moves – mind you, he was as stupid as Trump,
though in both cases, there is something to say for humans who hold such
atrocious views, have zero Emotional Intelligence, can recommend drinking
disinfectant to cure a pandemic and make other such absurd, inept, outrageous pronouncements,
psychopaths that feel nothing, who have little knowledge if any, and still
reach the top.
And the
local fool thinks about that shit and ordure that the people stay in, down
there in hell and thinks that well, it smelled bad, it was awful actually, but
maybe it is not such a bad experience, and the folks were standing and maybe
smoking some cigarettes, no torture applied to them, and then shit was the
medium of the commies, I do not know what he was thinking about and obviously
forgot the joke altogether, expect for the punch line:
Ready now
boys, head under now
In other
words, it seems like he was also stupid enough to pick this medium, thinking it
will be all right to stand in shit, only he was seeing the pause, the five
minute break, and then they are required to immerse in shit and eat it, surely,
so the joke was on him, somehow the idea of the dictator sinking in feces was
very satisfying.
Besides, it
became a leif motif and used as a catch phrase, to the effect of ‘ok, so it has
been fine so far, but now it is time to end the break and sink in shit’, even
if it was not said, it was just the ‘break is over, heads down’ aka ‘Capul la
fund’
When
looking back, a balance would be needed, to follow the Aristotelian rule, that
virtue has vice on both sides, courage would have cowardice and recklessness on
the flanks, and to damn myself for the past would be maybe just as wrong as to
say all that happened is a prove of heroism, immense talent and near
perfection.
Then things
are relative, if I have been wrong in my relationship with Sherika – and I am sure
I was – then there is the bond we have had, we cannot say it would have been
better had we not met each other – or maybe I am just projecting this, hoping
it is true and it is not – and the good things we have had do not excuse the
shortcomings, the horror of the abortion, but there is the upside, we have had
sunny days…
This is
biased and one sided, one should ask her how she feels about it, maybe she
wishes she had never met me, and the abortion was her pain, trauma, I was
there, but just as a witness, not affected in the least in my body, and I must
admit that in psyche, I had probably been relieved that this is going to be
over soon..
It was
illegal to have an abortion in the commie days and the terror that was involved
is portrayed in the fabulous, one of the best 100 movies ever made 4 Months, 3
Weeks, 2 Days http://realini.blogspot.com/2017/05/4-months-3-weeks-and-2-days-aka-4-luni.html helmed by the marvelous Cristian
Mungiu – I had tried to have a photo with him and Corneliu Porumboiu (another
magician director) while they were conversing at the Lycee Francais, at the end
of the year party, perhaps some five years ago, where my daughter celebrated
with her colleagues and the younger children of these two maestros, but my
souse said I should mind my own business and let the men enjoy their afternoon,
without interference from their public…I still think they may have been a bit
pleased to see that they have an admirer at this fiesta, where most of the
French and the locals did not know who they are…well, a few clearly did, there
would be those who have to see them at parents gatherings and such, but still,
someone who wanted a photo as a sign of appreciation might have not been such
an awful thing
Abortion
meant in many, if not circumstances resorting to someone who was not qualified
– doctors had a good thing going back then, when one would bribe to get medical
care, and I am not saying this, as an insult, after all my sister is a medical
doctor, though in the States, not here, this was the system, corrupt from top
to bottom – and using something like a metal bar to just provoke the abortion,
in very dangerous circumstances
