Patrimony

All relationships are going that way. I could declare my eternal love for a cow to-morrow and nobody would bat an eyelid. Although he was Jewish, Mr Bronowski had it right when he said that the arrow of time points always in the direction of diminishing difference. Soon a proper marriage will be on exactly the same footing before the law as this...ahem...polygamous, same-sex relationship. All religions are treated alike, except Islam which everyone is afraid of. Everyone, everything is equal. There is no difference in quality or meaning between virtue or vice, truth or falsehood. Everything is the same, and everything is nothing.

ReplyDeleteI am on the verge of declaring myself a soft-boiled egg (slightly cracked) and being done with all of it!
