"Every time I think of Babylon my blood runs cold"
-Peter Tosh
I cannot help but wonder at the history of mankind, at the forces that rule the human psyche, and the spiritual paucity that always seems to accompany the seeking of power and advantage.
A sobering essay, one which should open for us all a host of questions, with a willingness, even a need to face the harsh answers.
On a personal note, I found the savage attack on the sculptures of Dionysus particularly striking, as the story of the God provides so much of a basis for the canonical Jesus. Must we always seek to destroy what we refuse to face?
I see it happening today with the same ruthlessness but it never appears to be so harsh because it’s ’online’. People have hardly evolved though granted there might be less use of axes - so it’s not as literal nor as obvious . But it’s this use of poisoned senseless labels that makes me sick to my stomach .

Amazing. History repeats itself. Thanks Siofra.
