Senor Raul,
I have been dabbling a bit in Augustine's work. What I find very interesting in him is his condemnation of the sexual impulse.
Indeed, if not for its strength the human race would have withered away long back. However, as things stand we are being very fruitful and are also multiplying-a perfect example of geometric progression.
Yes, the flesh is corrupt.I have only ever heard of pills to enhance the sexual prowess further and never one which might help one to reduce it.The objective of marriage, when we do away with all the frills that surround it, is procreation. Babies,babies everywhere.
Hungry babies crawling on the roads,begging. Child as old as four ,selling stuff. Who cares? Nobody.
Why did I write that? I look forward to no socialist revolution. I recognise quite well what the true nature of existence is .It is not the rulers who impose poverty ,suffering and misery -these are not alien to us but the very stuff of our being.
Here everybody is afraid of becoming a minority so they reproduce with gusto.I am an anomaly in the system. A glitch which will soon be taken care of. Every Tom,Dick and Harry feels he is competent enough not only is marry but also to bring a new child into the world.
They expect you to marry-funny, they might as well expect you to hang yourself from the nearest tree. There is so much more I wish to learn about our existence. To analyse the pain and agony which is an integral part of our very being.
In the streets all they sell is fast food and soda & most of the folks you would meet here are fat. Very fat. They consume, and consume till the day they die either of a heart attack or diabetes.That would have been just find. But they leave behind a lot of babies .They babies suffer,the babies cry. The babies find themselves in a strange,alien and malevolent world. They grow up, cause more misery for each other and for themselves & produce even more babies. I am supposed to congratulate the couple when they declare that they are going to have a baby soon. Congratulations! and celebrations!Yes, they celebrate a lot-they call the kid -"a bundle of joy".
Well, as far as I am concerned ,I am just a bunch of misery. Well, I am dead,I would really like to stay dead- no reincarnation,eternal return non-sense for me please. But I do not have a choice in the matter. The odds are not good ,Senor Raul, no, they are not good at all.
Keep well.
