As I get older, flying make me think of God/Death. Maybe because up is up or maybe up is high or up is good or up is heaven. Maybe because flying always happen when one is too tired or tired or up tired.
So being so old, when I see a movie on someone else’s phone, it makes me think of violence. How come it is ok to watch and see two people beating each other on a film? If violence is not legitimate, let’ do an exercise, and get rid, or ban, all movies with violence in them. How many movies are we going to have left for our flights? 10 percent? 5? Ok, too expansive. Let’s just ban those movies that have extreme violence in them, that including bodily harm and visible physical death in them, how many movies do we have left now? Violence is so normal that we are seeing it as entertainment all the time.
I know, the movie the person saw, which included a beheading with a knife, was a critical movie of the society in which it happens. For sure, this is the main reason we have violence in movies. And I know that violence has always existed.

What did he think would happen? What, God was not able to forsee Cane’s frustration, jealousy, rage, for the poor treatment It gave Cane? It is part of the Genesis God being complete pity, petty, lunatic, God, who is also not that smart. That is, after he punishes Cane, Cane needs to explain to God that his punishment will not work and will have unintended consequences, so God needs to adjust the punishment and give Cane a sign, so the punishment will actually work.

How can you read the same story every year, not understanding it is not the same story, not understanding that you are not the same, not
I’m diverging, yes, God is a lunatic in Genesis. Yes, he creates violence every other episode, the bully (read its interaction around the fruit of knowing right-from-wrong). But violence on airplanes makes me understand that we accept violence in such a profound way, that maybe driving is better. To the environment. And to my lucidity.
