Gavetas Cheias de Coisa Nenhuma (nunca estive tão perto de voltar a fumar)

I feel a despair
in the thought

of you —

above...
and beyond...
repair!

And still I polish the floor
where your shadow
used to lie,

then fold myself
into the small hours —
each one a drawer
with nothing left
to keep.

Trocar o coração por um fígado. Beber mais, sofrer menos

 

...

Et toi mon coeur pourquoi bats-tu

Comme un guetteur melancolique

J’observe la nuit et la mort.

Ninguém deve usar o mesmo curativo, a vida toda, apenas porque algum dia fez bem.

It's about time to downsize?

 

“Belief in progress is a relic of the Christian view of history as a universal narrative". Secular thinkers, “reject the idea of providence, but they continue to think humankind is moving towards a universal goal”, even though “the idea of progress in history is a myth created by the need for meaning”.

Whether faith in progress is an invention or an adaptation of the Enlightenment, the image of secular humanists naively believing humanity is on an irreversible, linear path of advancement seems a caricature of their more modest hope, based in history, that progress has occurred and that more is possible. Enlightenment ideas of progress “were usually tempered by a strong streak of pessimism, a sense of the dangers and challenges to which the human condition is subject”. 

He dismisses the idea that “Enlightenment thinkers nurtured a naive belief in man’s perfectibility” as a “complete myth conjured up by early 20th-century scholars unsympathetic to its claims”.

De acordo com fontes locais, que preferem manter o anonimato, a colheita au naturel, mandamento incomum do fundamentalismo vegan, que ancora o seu sistema de valores no equilíbrio ecológico, na biodiversidade e numa gestão criteriosa dos recursos naturais, é a justificação engendrada pela jovem Sofia, agricultora da fruta* na Lombardia, para a flagrante violação da postura municipal.
