What Happened To Hirshberg

I believe it!

must always be drunk.
Everything lies in this: the only problem.
not to feel the horrible burden of time.
of time that breaks your shoulders
and it tilts toward the ground,
need to get drunk without respite.
But why? On wine, poetry or virtue ,
at your pleasure.
; Charles Baudelaire


Yesterday I found myself watching a movie that promised better with the plot than it actually was, I saw a completely different psychological thriller thickness, but I hit some very important thoughts that I wanted to reference and then I leave you to your well-deserved good weekend.
The film is titled The Experiment , and is a remake of the film of German in 2001 based on a true story in which we find men in cages, guinea pigs of a cruel experiment.
I was struck by the characters irrelevant of the film in reality (not normal!):
for example the poor bewildered overgrown child who works as would the comic book and its upcoming release was supposed to be 'flying man'. Well, the question of a skeptical of prisoners 'And what would that fly over this man?' , he says that humanity has become surface: What could be more special than a man who can fly without technology, without a coat. Flying ...
I agree: we are no longer able to be surprised of the things that in fact we should be surprised , because we believe we have everything in our hands. And that's what makes us unhappy to be so terribly superficial.


In addition, it made me think the very idea of \u200b\u200bjustice which, I suppose, has the film's director, Paul Scheuring.

According to him, justice is not what distinguishes us from animals, because it leads us to search for the guilty and to make what he deserves, and as revenge, and therefore violence.

"An eye for eye, tooth for tooth", so that he thinks will do justice in this world, and we could do more, because we are to the more civilized race par excellence, the elect, on a lot 'of steps higher up. We can circumvent instincts.

We could turn the other cheek, or at least be higher, not behave like animals.

I can not tell if I fully agree with him. The law of retaliation is not the Justice that we understand it today, but it's not a totally wrong comparison: at the bottom in America still practice the death penalty.

But I believe that men are more prey instincts than they are of compassion and humanity ...

said, Think of me if you like.

And I'm going for a walk, in that cold February sun.

nice weekend
