Suppose the world turned upside down, with the whole idea being that it's like a child's snow globe, except that the snow could just be dandruff. Gross, isn't it? But, what if, all the motives just died along the way, with the heads facing the earth, and walking in the sky? What could that mean? Catastrophe, a word I hate as much as I loathe 'catharsis', because it begins with cat. And, cats, mind you, are not all there despite their physical presence. What's the link? catastrophe and catharsis need not follow each other sequentially in an upside down world. It can be the other way round. We can have inexplicable guilt followed by pain, and retribution, and pity, and as the Greeks would like it, some bit of hope, in an upside down world, we can move back to nobility.
And, I haven't answered the question in my title, because, it is only befitting at the end. I can wait for another world, another Godot, maybe, or just some bit of freaky thoughts. Now, as Mick Jagger says, "we were young, good looking and stupid. Now, we're just stupid." What if that happened backwards? Isn't that how we are already?
