“I have never been really able to believe that human affairs were serious matters. I had no idea where the serious might lie, except that it was not in all this I saw around me - which seemed to me merely an amusing game, or tiresome.”

It may help to understand human affairs to be clear that most of the great triumphs and tragedies of history are caused, not by people being fundamentally good or fundamentally bad, but by people being fundamentally people.

Justice is balance in human affairs. Balance is wider than justice, since it includes justice and more than justice.

This is an old topic, but I never understood why the ex-Shinigami just quit acting as a reaper, left the Shinigami realm and never to return, gave his glasses and his original name and insist that everyone call him Undertaker, and work as a funeral director for humans for a time, then start making BDs and go further into hiding? Is he just so very tired of everything around himself? Will Yana shed some light on what his reasons were? Or was his mind broken all along?

He, at one point, says curiosity led him to experiment with cinematic records. However, he must be leaving out certain other, more personal motives. I think there is a political element to it, since he makes it quite clear he doesn’t like the queen or how she operates/delegates. There might also be a romantic element to it, since he could really turn out to be Cedric K. Ros–. If he was romantically involved with one watchdog, became the father of the next watchdog, and then saw that one get replaced by yet another generation? This would definitely fuel his anger towards the queen he probably *already* disliked.

I also hope we learn more about him, and I seriously *expect that we will*. Something made him abandon his post as a reaper and get heavily involved in the affairs of humans. There’s no way it’s *just* curiosity about life and death.

Frederick Douglass – How to Protest?

This missive has an ambitious goal to encourage us to listen to a 1-hour representation of one of the greatest speeches delivered in American history and there are few imminent scholars that would disagree with that opinion, I think. In a world where we have turned victimhood into a self-identity, we have stripped away the dignity we should all cling to. The American Revolution and the founding…
