An 18th century Nativity scene, the work of an illustrator from Aleppo and a scribe from Cairo.

Earth, when are we retiring? You overheat most days and you’re infested with bipedal pests. 

Many people inhabit broken worlds. If the worlds aren’t broken, people will perceive them to be.

However, I wonder when you can confidently differentiate the one from the other? We’re projections projecting on other projections. It’s difficult to really see another person’s point of view. 

There are concrete things that break worlds. Concrete, broken things that broken people do to others. However, what of the more indirect mental offenses? What of externalities? Try identifying a crack in someone’s mind. If it’s easy it feels cheap. If it’s too difficult, it’s hard to know if it’s truly there.

With time, I feel less resolute.
