how we grow old, how we forget about eachother
my life it seems follows the same course as europe in the past few hundred years. there was that time of devotion to the church. those dark middle ages where cathedrals were built. the church took care of everything. but it was corrupt; there were indulgences to be paid, popes getting laid, priests who never prayed. so we turned away. we had a renaissance . emersed ourselves in art, in music, in beauty, in science. we ran from the churches and gave god the old fuck you. life was all poetry and wondering. the thing about beauty though... it exausts you. we were enlightened. locke, hobbes, and rosseau. life was reason and logic. all things frivolous were stripped and put away. life was condensed down to what matters, what works. i have no time for romance, for music, for laughter. i can feel it coming. the end to this age of enlightenment. where i go from here?
