I was allowed the privilege of going to school today and here school is a privilege. Nothing could be darker or bleaker or bear than just sitting with nothing to do and millions of endless hours in which to do it. I must have cried in my sleep because this morning my pillow was soggy and wet, and I have been completely exhausted. The junior high kids have to teachers, and we have to. They both seem kind, and most of the kids seem pretty controlled. I guess that's because they're afraid of being sent again to no man's land, A world of wandering and being alone. I guess people can adjust to anything, even to being locked up in an institution. Tonight, when they locked the huge heavy door, I didn't even feel too terribly depressed. Or maybe I am just cried out. This is a tyrant. Shakespeare on Power by Stephen Greenblatt He has always had wealth. He was born into it and my example use of it. But though he enjoys having what money can get him, it is not what most excites him. What excites him is the joy of domination. He is a bully, easily enraged, he strikes out at anyone who stands in his way. He enjoys seeing others cringe, tremble or wince with pain. He is gifted at detecting weakness and deft at mockery and insult. The's skills attract followers who are drawn to the same cruel delight, even if they cannot have it to his unmatched degree. Though they know that he is dangerous, the followers help him advance to his goal, which is the possession of supreme power.
