Sancta Simplicitas

"I was in my home office writing a pen-named freelance psy-sex piece for a womens’ magazine in order to put some food on the table, the phone rang and it was an old friend who I had a falling out with a few years ago, an old friend who was doing the same debilitating work under a pen-name for a different magazine. He screamed into the telephone: “switch on your TV, this is great!”. I turned the TV on and it was so beautful that we put our differences aside. I then called an other friend who I had had a falling out with over some political nonsense. . . . On the backdrop of the same images we experienced the same communion . . . Guys the world over who share the same feelings with those who are humilated, felt the same sense of euphoria while watching these biblical images of justice and punishment! For me, 9-11 represents the reconciliation . . . with all those that this mediocre life has forced me to hate because of insignificant differences . . . Truthfully, it was a beautiful moment of love."

The above was penned by Alain Soral and fingered by Stefan Beck in a post at Armavirumque.
