El Cid by

9 out of 10
We live in
a world with gruesome leaders (in fact, I was about to put the word between
commas, and then I thought I might well put this long line of words instead)
and thus stories, legends like El Cid could help to remind us of different standards,
role models, for it seems that billions of fools and deplorable – this is a
good label, that Hilary Clinton used and would not help her in the race, but it
was true – aspire to be like Putin, Xi, Trump, Bolsanaro or Lula, MBS, and
there is a long line of ghouls we can put here
El Cid was
the epitome, the ideal fighter, a noble that was loyal, when offered the crown
of Valencia, he refused to get the power, and accepted instead in the name of
his sovereign, a king that had betrayed him, and showed himself (the royal)
unworthy, but since the hero had pledged his honor, it did not matter that this
‘majestic fraud’ was undeserving, the protagonist fought against foes and won…
There is a
battle between two Gods, we are told at one point that the God of the Christians
will fight against the God of the Muslims – this being Spain, at the time when
the two faiths clashed with each other – but whereas his royal master refuses
the offer of help from another religion, El Cid is for collaboration,
ecumenical understanding – if that is the expression, I know it is used for the
rapprochement between various Christians denominations, but I am not sure if it
is useful in this context
We have a Paradigm
shift in our times, the model of El Cid is no longer in the vanguard, for the
definition of this fundamental change we could look at Vernon God Little http://realini.blogspot.com/2016/06/vernon-god-little-by-dbc-pierre-divine.html The Booker Prize Winner by DBC Pierre,
which has one character explain to Vernon, in words to this effect ‘you enter a
room and find that a stranger has a finger up your grannies ass, what do you
think, and the answer is bastard, I will destroy you, but then you see that the
man had in fact tried to save your aged relative, from a deadly disease, what
do you say now, oh, so much gratitude…this is paradigm shift for you…’and the
change we experience today
I was
talking in the Caro sauna earlier, about the new indictments that Trump is facing,
and the rise in popularity as a consequence of being exposed as a criminal –
actually, he is a serial criminal, still not found guilty in court, but hey,
nobody is reading this, anyway, if anybody is, and he is a cult member, adoring
the Orange Clown, well then, fuck off – that takes him to poll numbers that say
he has a fifty percent chance
Jesus
Christ Superstar http://realini.blogspot.com/2023/05/jesus-christ-superstar-by-andrew-lloyd.html how can this be...I remember some
decades ago, when a Democratic senator was trying to run for president, they
found that he had had an affair with a secretary, or somebody, and then poof,
it was all over for the man, who would have to retire from the competition,
apologize to everyone and depart in disgrace
Whereas
now, you have a monster that had said before the elections that he won (how absurd
this is) that he ’grabs women by the pussy’, and still, those mother fucking
‘evangelicals’ felt no qualms about voting for him…yes, they did because God
works in mysterious ways, and then this unapologetic atheist would deliver the
goods, absolutist supreme justices – who by the way use unjust means, they interfere
in New York and other states, because they want guns all over, and then they
say they allow the fundamentalist states to adopt anti-abortion laws that could
have been designed by Torquemada
This is not
the only abhorrent cult leader in the world, it is true though that we have
seen him at his game, from next year it would be exponentially worse, if he
gets to the top again, and it will affect the whole world, from Ukraine to
Taiwan…for Ukraine, he has the best solution, evidently, he is ‘the very stable
genius’, self-proclaimed, but never mind, he will end it in twenty four hours,
as with the other problems he had promised to solve (Health care, Obama care)
he never does, but in this situation, we could be sure that he would allow
Putin to take the land and more, he loves tyrants, he wants desperately to be
one, and who knows, maybe his wish will come true, and he will cut off aid to
Ukraine
Influence http://realini.blogspot.com/2016/05/influence-by-robert-cialdini.html by Robert Cialdini is a classic of
psychology and the wondrous author looks at cults, gives readers the example of
the cult that moved from California to Guyana, where the leader asked the members
at one point to…commit suicide, and most of them did, hundreds of people died,
with some exceptions, some who had not fallen into the Social Acceptance trap,
for it was a disastrous result for those who followed the example of the others
It looks as
if this is what could happen, in a society where the bravery, devotion, spirit
of self-sacrifice, honesty, munificence, wisdom, love of learning, integrity of
El Cid, are replaced by a model of cheating, narcissism brought to extremes,
the idiot that could rule the world in 2024 suffers from Narcissistic Personality
Disorder – there is another classic, The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem http://realini.blogspot.com/2013/06/six-pillars-of-self-esteem-by-nathaniel.html by Nathaniel Branden...
The
ultimate expert on self-esteem writes that those who display arrogance, show
off, do not have the confidence they want to project, the real trust in oneself
is shown when one is relaxed, serene, does not behave like a rooster, or like a
Trump…again, the model we should look up to is El Cid, and watching the movie
would help
Now for a
question, and invitation – maybe you have a good idea on how we could make more
than a million dollars with this http://realini.blogspot.com/2022/02/unique-in-world.html?q=unique+in+the+world – as it is, this is a unique technique,
which we could promote, sell, open the Oscars show with or something and then
make lots of money together, if you have the how, I have the product, I just do
not know how to get the befits from it, other than the exercise per se
As for my
role in the Revolution that killed Ceausescu, a smaller Mao, there it is http://realini.blogspot.com/2022/03/realini-in-newsweek-participant-in.html
