A next step

The staging

And now this year 2020 has come upon us all with its rapid procession of soft-padded, almost tranquil upheavals: a series of collective catches at once answering to a coherent and foreseeable logic, and bearing unhoped for possibilities and opportunities for a reorientation, so very necessary, of human behavior.

The massive erosion of common sense and reason to the benefit, not of a more intuitive mode of perception that would be superior to them, but of a kind of abject submission, an impotent, timorous, anxious and servile surrender, was apparently achieved in a matter of a few days.

Is that possible?

Has not this erosion been introduced already for years, right into our most intimate gestures?

All of a sudden we are now faced with necessities of which the origin escapes our grasp.

On one side, danger lurks, the danger of death for oneself and the others, or at the very least of their suffering, if one does not bend to the rules and instructions: if one holds out, reneges or resists in any way, one thus demonstrates either a suicidal or criminal inclination, an unconsciousness, a callous irresponsibility and carelessness or an arrogance and selfishness that are detrimental to the society.
