Mahabhrangraj Oil Dose



In the days of rage on the other side of the Mediterranean, again, museums are devastated. Men who rise up for their dignity, culture and memory that is torn. I was reminded of a tragic scene Agora Alejandro AmenĂ¡bar (dedicated to the life of Hypatia and the bloody decline of classical pagan culture) , when Christians attack the Serapeum and the library (and this, both immediately said, beyond the complex question of the relationship between Serapeum and Library of Alexandria, and the history and milestones of the destruction of the latter) should be a scene which only produces anger for blindness, bigotry, and violence . "This is where you want the triumph of reason Hellenic / here where even the alphabet is a sign dell'obbrobrio be destroyed?", Recite two verses of the beautiful poem by Mario Luzi, Book of Hypatia . Yet I felt a sense of solidarity in the face of the alienated scum bums angry shouting their joy at the destruction of that fine poem that was their hunger and fatigue, impervious to the philosophy that was the sign of humiliation suffered every day, that knowledge and daring genius that was their exclusion, and poverty, and slum where back on their feet filthy.
Is this really that culture is intended to be? Really, what more outraged? The destruction of culture, or the destruction of our culture? What infuriates us more, the loss of a book, or to destroy is a tramp? Thirty-two centuries before the destruction of Serapeum once again in Egypt, the Tips of Ipuwer - lying in the reign of Pharaoh Pepi II of the Sixth Dynasty (in the XXVIII centuries BC) - mourn the destruction of papyrus, the desecration of culture but Once again, the outrage over the devastation of culture comes close to that for social upheaval:

Had I raised my voice at this juncture that it will redeem me from this painful situation where I am! Look at the Private Room, his lyrics were stolen and secrets revealed. Look, the spells have been disclosed, spells are ineffective because people share the repeats. See, I am open and looted stores inventories. The slaves became slave owners. Look, the scribes are murdered and their work stolen. Damn me, damn time! Watch the scribes of the land, their writings were destroyed. Cereals in Egypt ownership of local communities. Look, the rules of Private Room were thrown away. People are walking on the poor and crush the street.

And perhaps the painful words of Sines, a student of Hypatia, a philosopher and a Christian bishop and Neo-Platonic, more sense of it all.

"There is justice in this primary / first a brutal form of justice by whom the party had nothing and hoping for another. / This looks awful and absurd repair / take history as a switch to another "(Mario Luzi, Hypatia Book)
