as gloss ... the thoughts of yesterday.
Death is not a very good prospect . Indeed, at least I was, a prospect! It is not represented, is always the death of others. As convicts in a cell, we see others being taken away and we do not know when it's up to us (Pascal, I think). Strehler said to exorcise "the assholes just die."
Nothingness is always there, no matter if in a second or a year. It lies before us alone, puts us in a shoulder charge that no rump if ours can bring, without even we tick a box before birth : She wants to come into the world and take on the burden resulting free? YES '/ NO.
statistics if we are young we give some illusion, and old age, there is no one who is so-as Cicero said, do not believe that he will not live another year. But, mind you, not the illusion of resolving the issue, only to postpone it. In all this we must pursue a policy of Government Center: in the absence of solutions, extensions.
Religions tell us something rather than after. While philosophers argue that talk of an "after" after the end is a contradiction, like a circle square wooden iron. Wittgenstein adds that, in hindsight, even if there were an infinite life in the afterlife, would not be eliminated the enigma of life itself [Tractatus 6.4312]. Anyway I would be fine, eh?
We do not know what is the beyond of religion. When Dante tries to describe the Christian made a copy of the here, only more blood (hell and purgatory) or ethereal (paradise - ethereal I said, but you can say the same evil of the Vatican, cf. XXVII 25-27 ). John Paul II, as a last defense against criticism of the geo-anthropomorphism in which any attempt at representation inevitably expires, said that those places are rather alleged "state of mind." Purgatory it is safe to support their existence as you cling a delle ragnatele concettuali, si stiracchiano quattro versetti striminziti.
Addirittura poi il Cattolicesimo prospetta un dopo-dopo-dopo! Una resurrezione dei corpi che è uno dei punti più imbarazzanti del credo (e infatti nel catechismo ufficiale si dice che è irrappresentabile e si tira via veloci veloci sperando che qualcuno non salti su a far troppe domande). Chiedetene un po’ ai vostri amici cattolici che cosa ne sanno.
Più concreto è il paradiso dei Musulmani. Un posto bellissimo, una specie di oasi piena di frescura, di ombra e di acqua (e te lo credo che ha originariamente allettato delle popolazioni beduine) in cui, oltre alle sette (o settantasette?) vergini, ci sono anche dei bei “garzoni” (così Bausani traduce pudicamente quella che è un’effettiva traccia di pederastia alla greca nelle Parole del Clemente e Misericordioso , il Quale evidentemente provvede anche a coloro i cui occhi godono delle forme maschili [LVI, 17] in barba a Ahmadinejad che invece li impicca). Ci viene assicurato che là non avremo mal di testa [ sic - LVI 19] e speriamo allora nemmeno il raffreddore o la costipazione.
Ma a quanto pare, qualunque cosa sia, che cosa succede nell'aldilà a ciascuno dipende da come ci è comportati qui, nel non-ancora-di-là. C'è un rapporto causa-effetto: se ti sei impegnato, passi, se no ti bocciano (with the purgatory of the Catholic who is a bit 'as exams repair). And the failure is unpleasant, we speak of fire, or if you are a bit more refined, à la Wojtyla, separation from God of course, God always has a discretionary right, can in turn change things and remove departed from their homes as carriarmatini on the board of Risk, if you like. Would you say my Irish friend: "God can do whatever she wants"! How did Ratzinger (who in this was good rival, earthly image of (a) Superior) when he pulled the children out on a limb. Limbo that simply was finally dropped because indefensible ancor più fragile del purgatorio.
Di inferno si parla meno , anche se si ricevono in udienza dittatori che sicuramente lo meriteranno, o forse proprio per non metterli in imbarazzo. Per sentire due parole al proposito c'è da ascoltare Radio Maria con l'ineffabile Don Fanzaga. Ma mai ad personam , quelle parole, si intende! C'è quasi una pruderie per la dannazione, si dice che lo sa poi Dio se qualcuno se la merita e perché. Lo stesso non vale per il paradiso dove invece si va con nome e cognome, con tanto di carte bollate e di gigantografie in Piazza S. Pietro. Un po' più coerenti i Musulmani che, forse perché non yet gone through a historic phase-social-media-gooders, we send the infidels to hell and say explicitly saying that the day will be in Paradise with the Prophet (So in general, before making a large). The Jews however, as they are taken from their land problems, the afterlife do not think too much, it is important that you do here and now. Religion in the injury often associated with the calculation and trade and those who, with the afterlife, it's less speculation such as "this in exchange for that." Today the most famous Jewish saying about death is that of Woody Allen that says that is not afraid but would not want to be there when happens to him. It will be that the rabbis, fine reasoners, unlike the priests and Muslim scholars have understood that there is little that is puzzling and shameful bargain.
But back to paradise. And imagine we believe there is.
passarsela evil I have seen so many people here on Earth which is the place where I always was. Passarsela even worse than me, mind you (though I do not deserve heaven, so do not text) and was doing worse than the popes, bishops, cardinals, of reginedinghilterra, the georgebush, the binladen, of Nasrallah. Or even the families of the Christian fundamentalist bible belt going to thank pick up in the Lord . Or the ladies with the hair shirt. O cycling of small families to "tell the family." O Papaboys they pay to travel to participate in the antipodes Godstock (or Popestock - that God is not known fact that the Pope appears there is some).
And then, they enjoy themselves on earth, are fine, and then in later, should be even better? I feel like saying: there is PURE heaven!? You had everything and now you want that too, for ever? What injustice!
While those who've been hurt in life, maybe yes, we go to heaven, but the memories of terrible life over? For example, with the memories of leprosy patita a Calcutta? O dei dolori lancinanti che se li son portati via in tenera età? O del Lager in cui son stati fatti fuori come bestie? Sì, dico con i ricordi , lo devo assumere, perché se si cancellano o modificano quelli si cancella o modifica l'identità e in tal caso sarebbe come se andasse in paradiso qualcun'altro! [1]. E con i ricordi traslocano in cielo le ingiustizie terrene.
Meglio quindi se non c’è niente. Nel nulla io, nel nulla i miserabili, ma con tutti i pasciuti filistei!
(E lo so che è una magra consolazione).
Valete .
[1] Ma questo forse è un ragionamento troppo filosofico theologians to the Vatican, better to spend the treasures of the intellect in search of miracles to bring the processes of beatification and sainthood.
