I've been thinking about Oedipus. Good King Oedipus. When Oedipus realized that he had killed his father... unknowingly... unknowingly killed his father... and was sleeping with his mother... and that because of his crimes plagues were ravaging his city, he couldn't bear the sight of what he'd done. He plucked out his own eyes and left. He did not feel innocent. He felt he had to punish himself. But... our leaders, unlike Oedipus, they felt they were innocent. And when the atrocities of the Stalinist period became known, they cried, ''We didn't know! We weren't aware of what was going on. Our conscience is clear.'' But the important difference is... they stayed in power. And they should have plucked their eyes out. - Tomas |
