I love it when new posts are related to older ones, it feels almost like there's a theme or a grand design that guides my ideas... While in reality they're all just a random mess

La fin de séance (the end of the session),

The wailing wall (حائط المبكى في القدس),
By Jean-Leon Gérôme

I know now: I do not hope for anything. I do not fear anything, I have freed myself from both the mind and the heart, I have mounted much higher, I am free.

لقد أدرَكتُ الآن: أنا لا آمل في شيء. أنا لا أخافُ من شيء، لقد حرَّرتُ نفسي من العقل والقلب وارتَقيتُ عاليًا، أنا حر.

هالجملة "لا آمل في شيء، لا أخاف من شيء، أنا حر" مكتوبة على شاهد قبر نيكوس كازانتزاكيس بمدينة هيراكليون بجزيرة كريت

Out of my will to life and to health, I made my philosophy

Ecce Homo (Behold the man),
By Antonio Ciseri

The transport of Christ to the grave,
By Antonio Ciseri

The true "death of God" must've happened during those three days after Jesus' crucifixtion. Imagine being a disciple of Jesus (God in the human frame), and after his death, you had to carry your own God to the grave. This must've been Existential Crisis at its worst level.

I don't think his disciples would've been sad or in grief. They were probably so struck with dispair that they lost any and all will and motive.

This of course, assuming that it actually "historically" happened
