really good post / i knew very little about either literary work or how it affected western culture / it all comes into focus now / humans will continue exploring and devising explanations for what they discover in their indefatigable effort to understand everything until one fine day when we realize we just need to understand ourselves / that's my comment
yep / i have come to a very similar conclusion / this is not a dire tragedy (well it may be) but it's also the beginning of something new that needs to be born and must be born / in all the ancient myths of the humans the monster is destroyed the flood is abated the world is saved and some great blessing is brought to humanity / the great blessing we need is kindness understanding and compassion / all very possible / when this status quo breaks down that may be all we have to save ourselves
Thanks for reading. I agree about compassion etc. And it's a matter of perception: we have to learn to experience ourselves as being PART of the universe, not as the center.
damn girl you getting deep / guess i'll have to go read it now
😂 Don't hurt yourself 😂
haha / what's really funny is that my family members all of them live or lived in dante's divine comedy / they didn't even make it to faust
