Purgatorio

It's been awhile since I've read the Divine Comedy, but it is supposed to be that, right? a comedy that is both inspired and meant to inspire the movement of all good men upward toward the beating wings of golden angels.

Purgatory though that's where the real danger lies. In not having been a traitor or a money lender you don't end up in the boiling depths of doom, but also neither are you allowed into the showering glory of god. Which is what jesus experienced on the cross. The knowledge of god and the knowledge of its absence. Being able to catch a glimpse of fame but having your roll as a minor extra axed because of budget short falls.

Where is this going, you might ask.

Nowhere. Stuck in that Limbo of the Bermuda Triangle is the worst place to be. We want answers, good clean straight forward and immediate, preferably the words we want to hear right now and not having to wait or work for them, answers. When the answers aren't there or communication fails and the gratification of a solution is out of hand but just there, visible around the bend, can be the most awful place to be stuck.

Especially when everyone is right all of the time.

None of this is coming out right. This was supposed to be about how the internet is both a god and a devil, but the words just aren't there and it's making me feel very frustrated to be able to see the vision and not find the appropriate words.

Over and Out.
