off topic:
as i understand that this list is more dedicated to share digital works
in the net, i write an off topic:
users that read or know maurice blanchot's thoughts.
if any is interested, i can receive the mail in my particular mail.
we can work on a blanchot's site or something.
---
some years ago, i read a chapter of one of his books. it could be
"L'Amitié", translated to spanish as "the laughing of the gods"
i read about his thought about death, about choosing the moment to die.
it impressed me too much, i closed the book, i fogot it as if it was a
dammed thing.
yesterday, everything came to my mind. fresh as a rose... (
even if i'm
not able right now to find the book and the quotes)
--
maybe some knows the book, and knows the thought.
---
i took this morning a picture to madrid's streets.
there were people. many of these people walked protected from the idea
of death.
i saw people belonging to a culture that protect them from the idea of
death.
if some of them takes a non convinient way, a monster comes out.
it is not a real monster, it could be one of those stoned ones of old
churches, romanic, gothic...
that monster threats you with death, and tells you very horrible things
about it.
further that the unknown fact of what is death -it is not interesting
right now-, there is,
at least,
a right that belongs to human beings.
but leviathan, as hobbes called the state, took that right from us
citizens: abort, euthanasia, suicide... are crimes !
BUT
he addressed this right to him:
state can manage death as death sentences, guantanamo or autwitz places, and wars...
---
so
we will be good fellows.
we won't say that we have read blanchot.
we won't act as if we have read blanchot.
we won't think about the deepness of the concept of freedom...
citizen, please: in order to save order, please, be afraid of death.
