ā a man takes his sadness down to the river and throws it in the river but then heās still left with the river. ā
Siken meme!
Status: SOMEWHAT yes
āThe man shouldnāt have gone down the river to begin with.ā
Sheās in the midst of making a vegetarian gumbo, steadily chomping on diced tomatoes, slicing up green bell peppers. She keeps slicing and slicing, nibbling and munching as she does, gesturing idly. Admittedly, sheās not the most careful in the world. She keeps on, patient, checks the pot and leans over to stir.
āThe man shouldāve taken his sadness to the bar. He shouldāve taken his sadness to the church, maybe to the Temple, in dependence of his religion. He shouldāve taken his sadness and funneled it into all the places the good Jews or Christians put their sadnessā in the possibility of self-flagellation or the canonization or the potential for eventual martyrdom. He should have taken his sadness to organized religion or buried it in his backyard like a sensible gentleman. Six feet under, just next to where he romanticized his own depression.ā
