According to the ancient writers the cursed "Apples of Sodom", this tree was very
majestic and gave fruits apparently beautiful and appetizing. However, as soon assomeone touched one of them, it immediately detached itself from its branch, felldown, and immediately turned to ashes! So, at least, the legends said... ----Therefore, it was easy to fool someone into thinking that they were cutting adelicious and juicy fruit. But as soon as he peeled it, he was disappointed, asthe flesh was dry and looked like disgusting sawdust. ---- Better, however, likethis, since the "Apples of Sodom" were a poisonous fruit and those who tried themlost their lives. One would say that he shut up within himself the divine cursethat was unleashed against Sodom and that it was dried up, not by the flame ofthe African sun, but rather by the same fire that destroyed the two sinfulcities, Sodom and Gomorrah.The Old Testament informs that the inhabitants of those two biblical cities wereso corrupt and universally sinful that the patriarch Abraham could not find evenfifty righteous and moral people in the whole of Sodom. Even with God's promisethat if only fifty righteous people could be found, the city would be saved fromdivine wrath, the effort was in vain.Everyone knows the tragic end of Sodom and neighboring Gomorrah, whoseinhabitants were immersed in the hell of immorality and absolute vulgarity. God'swrath broke out destructively. For three days, fire and brimstone fell from thesky. People, animals, houses, trees turned to ashes and were lost forever.When God decided to punish the corrupt and wasteful cities, he wanted to savefour righteous souls: Lot, his wife and his two unmarried daughters. He warnedthem, therefore, by His Angel, to flee secretly, by night, towards the mountain,without, however, turning their heads back and seeing what would follow.Lot's family was marching towards the mountain, the fiery rain began to fall, andhis wife could not contain her curiosity. She turned her head to see, despite thewarnings and was instantly turned into a statue of salt!And I come to today. We know that the government of the Right was the Sodom ofpublic life. Likewise, the first time Left, albeit unevenly, unfortunately likensGomorrah to its own failures. The voters had to choose between the Scylla of theRight and the Charybdis of a government of the defeated even if it was for aspecial purpose. In the catch 22 dilemma where you're totally lost, people chosenot based on facts like Tempi or Watchmen or Remules as Lotus Eaters. Themythical, hospitable and peaceful people of Greek mythology. They decided to eatpersimmons, which were enchanted fruits. And immediately they forgot homeland andcomrades. In our case one could say that the Lotos were the various pass typeallowances, but it would do justice to the magic engendered by his servitude oradmission there is no alternative. This seduction to accept your fate and turn tolook back and remain a pillar of salt like Lot's wife.But it takes courage to overcome the entanglements, not to forget and to continuechanging not the page but the book. It seems utopian but it is not to changethings. Elections are like running without remote control on the same train andexpecting not to collide with the dystopia that is coming because you simplychanged the controller and from a liberal you put a social democrat, who will notcancel the route, will not hit the brakes demanding the radical change , but withtweaks it will serve you a slightly cheaper coffee, but it will remain stuck onthe same route.The Anarchists promise you nothing and may not be the ones to bring the light.They continue with their struggle to show that the darkness is not invincible.And as an old slogan says: Silence is complicity, so is participation inelections. A-vote them!https://www.anarkismo.net/article/32773_________________________________________A - I N F O S N E W S S E R V I C EBy, For, and About AnarchistsSend news reports to A-infos-en mailing listA-infos-en@ainfos.ca
