The Shows That Got Me Through Covid

Heaven, Hell and the Multiverse
The mythology of heaven and hell has often been used in literature as a way to comment on ethics in general. Dante's Divine Comedy takes us on a journey through hell, purgatory and paradise, the most famous of these being his Inferno. Milton gave us Paradise Lost. The satirist Jonathan Swift described The Place of the Damned by its inhabitants including "Damned poets, damned critics, damned blockheads, damned knaves, damned senators bribed, damned prostitute slaves". The poet William Blake wrote The Marriage of Heaven and Hell in which he contrasts the free Dionysian spirit of hell with the authoritarian and carefully regulated, dare we say repressed, heaven.

Leopold Syndrome is real
Humans are respecters of titles As I read Michelle Petties's story The Pastor Needs a Plate it stirred up my own memories of how some church denominations treat the spiritual leader as if he is above and beyond others and that he is the Supreme Being he is supposed to be leading others to. I had an encounter about 5 years ago at a local K&W Cafe that came to mind after reading this story.
