Art sells better if it has an optimistic ending. A corrupt (in a good commercial sense) artist will definitely try to pull it onto the grinning skull of existence.

Maybe the resurrection of God is that we will all become one again?

He disappeared, becoming all of us. He cannot love us anymore, because we are his love, poured out by him into the emptiness of eternal loneliness. We can neither thank him for this nor curse him. We can only do one thing - be what we are...

“Disintegration into fragments” is the most honest photograph of our god. The only one we can do. Be it with telescopes, like physicists, or with your soul, like the ancient poet Nietzsche. Even the most sacred of divine names consists of four fragments - apparently, the ancient Jews observed the creator through their spiritual optics a few picoseconds after his collapse and were unable to get closer to the starting point of creation...

At least at the beginning of the relationship.

Everything is an agenda.

Jews crucified Christ, gays shot Pushkin, and lesbians broke my heart...

But there’s nothing much to be proud of here.

That's how it is now...

The choice is yours.

... Dmitry felt that he had done something bad. It was like drowning a kitten, which does not even understand why and why it was born. Not exactly a crime - but just one of the many small abominations that make this world what it is...

At the “Air Word” - a religious program for landowners - they were regularly reminded that serfs have no souls. The program was hosted by Abbess Maximilian, a progressive scientist in golden vestments covered with advertisements for friendly services.

Dmitry had a nightmare - a crowd of painted crappers with scales and yellow feathers stormed a machine-gun point on the mountain under wild chants, and those who ran back were mowed down by another machine gun. In the dream, it was clear that the machine gun was actually the same, and the reason for the illusion was the spherical shape of all earthly meanings and the eternal Russian guilt before some murky authorities (either local, or global, or again as with the machine gun).

Words gave us power over the world - but locked us in a prison of concepts... This is the meaning of the biblical metaphor of expulsion from paradise... Pontius Pilate asked: “What is truth?” The answer to the question is much simpler than the ancient sages thought. Everything that appears in the first signal system is true. Lies exist only in the second... Some even claim that there is only lies there...
