A Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) perches atop a post surrounded by water. Its back is to us but its head is visible in profile.

The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #PerfectLighting. This cormorant (although overseas viewers might know it as a great cormorant), I think, fits the theme nicely.

On my way back from Manhattan this evening, I was thinking that maybe humans' fallibility is Entropy's organic manifestation. We fall apart a little every day and irreversibly. In other words we (together with all Nature) fall apart.

2/k2 I think if we were to explore your philosophical hypothesis of human deep contradictions more fully we
would find a great deal to our advantage; it is more than a hypothesis but an absolute statement of fact!

We'll see. When read his plays many years ago I enjoyed the way he played with the way people view reality. I'm wiser now & less tolerant. We'll see.

The sad thing is that the Constitution has been a fairy tale; it's totally ineffective.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

Maybe we internalize John 8:7 "...he without sin can first cast a stone..." We human beings have deep contradictions; the tendency to condemn ourselves and others.

Absolutely so it seems, we so like to lacerate ourselves; if not with cruel dictatorships then with personal spite when reason bids it so unnecessary my friend. 🕊️🌺🌿🐦‍⬛🌊🍰🐧

What a coincidence! I have Luigi's "Le Migliori Novelle" on my table for reading after E=mc². As to why writers can be so myopic, you have the floor since (as a writer) you have the experience. From my point of view, humans are all fallible. What do you think 🤔

A case of intellectual laziness was Pirandello supporting Mussolini, so yes; and of course the masses in the main who believe an opposition can make hurricanes behave to their advantage. That Hitlerite use of propaganda where if something is said, repeated often enough people will believe it.
