Good morning, dear friend, reader of this post! How are you, today? How have you been, on this week that is going by so fast? Happy Friday! As for me, I am okay, I'd say. The mental meds, as I mentioned, do help immensely. They do not remedy depression or moments of despair and sad feelings, but they do put brakes into the emotional turmoils, not allowing them to upscale out of control, in one way or the other. I would say, so far, much to my relief, October went okay, even with the storms, such as my dad having the major financial issues. I keep going, I suppose that is what I do! Writing here is always a joy and a victory for my creative moments. I haven't drawn much the past few weeks, unfortunately, and I also have not written much... I hope I can resume the drawing at some point soon. The writing I just hope to do nice pieces here on the Blog-Journal. As I said, with how strong the creative block came this season, it is indeed quite a victory! Life moves on...
I have been quite on a Habsburg season this year as a whole! I read the brilliant biography of "King" Maria Theresa (as she was heartwarmingly called by her subjects, due to her immense dedication to affairs of state, perceived as very masculine of her), and I just finished listening to a book on the Austrian/Austrian-Hungarian empire! Another great piece, it highlights the political situation of the empire across 19th century Europe, when slowly, the expansion of suffrage gave birth to more than what was propagated, bad sons of this movement are mass politics and, on an empire such as the Habsburg, the rise of Nationalism and other dangerous socialist assumptions. This book shows how important were the leadership and cohesive influence of the Habsburg Family in Central Europe, and without them, how things could have gone much worse much more fast. As Franz Joseph brilliantly said to Theodore "Ted" Roosevelt, he was to stay between his subjects and the potential abuse of their elected officials. When we see the situation of my own country today, Brazil, when there is no mercy towards the inhabitants of the territory, when the elected (and even unelected) officials do everything in their power to mistreat everyone here... I do miss the imperial institution, that Brazil used to have. This is the major catastrophe that is the phenomenon of Mass Politics and the evil that is democracy, the current president, the evil and pathetic squid, won by a very small margin, and even that may be contested, but that was enough for all inhabitants of this unfortunate land to be castigated by the immense tax hikes and the humiliation the oligarchy that rules Brazil impose upon us, specially the middle class, which I'm a part of.
Anyway... I think this is a good point to wrap up today's post. What else is there to be said today? I think this post is good as it is. I hope I may return here really soon, for more thoughts and ideas, just a bit of my life and my mind. One ought to express oneself... I pray I can write two more posts this October, one of them being to wrap up the month. Crazy we are already at the gates of November! In any case, farewell, see you real soon, don't worry!
