(no subject)
Haven't done much drug related or goth related for ages. Feels good. There are personal thinga going on but since I have not been reading much I don't feel like writing about it. I feel it is personal and I'm loosing my sense of feeling like everybody is importantant. I am loosing myself in my relationship?
Anyway I just finished reading a very moving part of Tucididies where he discusses what human behavior is like under stress. Fathers killing suns and all the things we think of as being human nature turned on it's head for blood violence and hate. When I try to justify the study of history I alwayse feel a bit weak. There are not many arguments that sound persuasive on this issue, if any. But I find it magical how history tells us what is possible for humans. How they are similar and disimilar in so many ways. How some keep their nobility in the worst curcumstances and how some are are just waiting for the oppurtunity to shed blood. And also how the concept of what "noble" means can vary so much from place and time to time. Even a season can turn a quite populouce into a vengeful mob.
