Gus > Liberated from the Turks! LOL... Indeed. Interesting how everyone is always being "liberated". Just like the Iraqis at the moment. Liberated by war, liberated from war, liberated by seduction, liberated by religion, liberated from religion, liberated by democracy, liberated by capitalism, liberated from capitalism etc. And meanwhile the attempts to enslave us become greater and greater. From Miguel de Cervantes: "Life as it is? I’ve lived for over forty years, and I’ve seen life “as it is”! Pain. Misery. Cruelty beyond belief! I’ve heard all the voices of God’s noblest creature: moans from bundles of filth in the streets! I’ve been a soldier and a slave. I’ve seen my comrades fall in battle or die more slowly under the lash in Africa. I’ve held them at the last moment. These were men who saw life as it is, but they died despairing! No glory; no brave last words. Only their eyes filled with confusion, questioning “Why?” I do not think they were asking why they were dying, but why they had ever lived! Life itself seems lunatic! Who knows where the madness lies? Perhaps to be too practical is madness! To surrender dreams; this is surely madness. Too much sanity may be madness. But maddest of all: to see life as it is, and not as it should be!" holyjoe.org
