{∅, {∅}, {∅, {∅}}} : Rage Against the Meat Grinder

For Don Raul:

Man is the greatest enemy of man. Oppression, injustice, contempt,
contumely, violence, sedition, war, calumny, treachery, fraud; by these they mutually torment each other......And they would soon dissolve that
society which they had formed, were it not for the dread of still greater
ills, which must attend their separation."

David Hume

And may our disdain be for those who work and struggle, and our hatred for those who hope and trust- Pessoa

Holden,

Thank you for your post and the video clip.

Indeed, we are living in hell. Existence is pain. But we do not want to
see that this world is a prison. We are here to suffer and to be
exploited until our last breath. We are the sheep that flock
together to the slaughterhouse.

Well, abortion is illegal here and yet lots of women and girls opt for it.

Five years ago the Ministry of Health computed 30,000 abortions per year.
But how many children are dying because they have to work from the age
of 10-12 in our region, Asia, Africa and even in the so-called
first world countries?

As usual the authorities are very hypocritical. They say they are pro-life
and yet they don´t care about living conditions of families, specially,
in the interior of the country. Last year many families lacked adequate
food.

My health is bad because of the tension-type headache.

Stay well. 

Don Raul,
Thanks for your message.I do very much hope that the intensity of your pain gets reduced.
Many of the prominent ancient Roman thinkers did not look upon life as a “gift”. They saw it for what it is- a period of unrest.

But of course, such people have always been in the minority in all ages- the procreators are always far more numerous.
For one Leopardi there are more than a thousand Quiverfull adherents.
That is the kind of world we find ourselves in and we cannot help it.It might all be a simulation for all I know, but ,by Jupiter, what a painful simulation!

Take good care of yourself.
