Deconstructing ‘Humpty Dumpty’: what do we learn from this children's rhyme? What would Jordan Peterson say? [link.medium.com]
If you are looking for meaning, then it can be found in just about anything.
If you are looking for an excuse to do violence, something to ease your conscience, an excuse for the violence you want to commit? Then that to is easy to manufacture.
If you dig deep enough you will find that permission to do the evil you are craving.
Just remember all the excuses in the world still will not absolve you of your actions. You were given free choice, it comes with a price and the bill will be paid.
Humpty Dumpty should have made his bed ...
And cleaned his room
@APoizner side note: in my early teens after seeing the gruesome world of heroin addiction for the first time, I then thought that Humpty Dumpty was a metaphor for an addict beyond help (I had no knowledge about how old the rhyme was). I became a bit sceptical about the rhyme, because what horrible person writes kids poems about heroin addicts??? .. yeah.... I was a confused kid.....
@HistoryCorner I'm a confused old fart.....That doesn't seem to change!
@HistoryCorner Probably lots of truths embedded in there....
