women

I sat in a circle with 7 women and another man. The 3 oldest women, each of them aged between 40 and 50 years, set fire to my ears. As I write these lines, I am returning to the fire spot, to see what is left standing of my impression of human kindness. The question is: Can you reasonably expect thankfulness by giving alms to a beggar? I say no. What do I mean by reasonably? By that I mean thinking about conventions, in contrast to thinking inside conventions; thinking with logic, instead of culturally and politically conditioned thinking; thinking: why can I be happy, while others can't, and not: Gosh, life is a miracle.

It is not.

Women have power over men. They choose whom to mate with. Why don't they use this power to boycott soldiers? In the name of peace, why not deprive a man of sex?

to be next to you like a star.
