The most transcendent news of the day isn’t the terror that overwhelms staff as they know the heat will last forever and melt their bodies, souls, nerves, and brains, or their despairing hallucinations as they check wild food prices. For the drought, I hope that no faction guarantees that it will rain a lot if the citizens vote for them. And with regard to the second, I imagine that no candidate will dare say to his potential clientele what this guillotined queen suggested to her hungry people: “Well, if they have no bread, they shall eat croissants. ” No, the most exciting topic, according to the irreplaceable televisions, is the coronation of the King of England, materialized with a celebratory motto: “Ungen. It’s God’s will.” And throwing the reel until they pick it up. There are several queues of fans out of nowhere from days before so as not to miss the party. Luckily there are also pictures of people who are probably drunk or punky or just plain sensible and yelling “stick the coronation up their ass.”
It seems that the essential to feel alive is faith. In royalty, in institutions, in religions, in ideologies, in ethereal gods, in churches and mosques, in the exemplary nature of one’s own and in the wickedness of others.
How lonely must the agnostics and libertarians feel, those who do not choose or choose empty, those who do not seek divine or earthly rewards, those who are convinced that the only daily war since the dawn of time has been that between rich and poor is. And that if the revolutions of seconds ever triumphed, the brightest of them would quickly turn into a caste as cruel and despotic as those they fought.
