I remember going to see the live Monty Python show (in French). One of the sketches was the four Yorkshire-men (except they were not Yorkshire-men in the French version).
It’s a fun sketch that has been done in several ways, probably starting from the three classes sketch (I look down on him….).
I started thinking about it because Jesus was a Capricorn was on my playlist. Interesting song – I like the line “Everybody needs somebody they can look down on”. I saw an elderly man standing outside a shop today (wearing a mask) shouting at the window some words that were almost impossible to understand. I don’t know if it was a stroke or something else, but he really was making no sense. I wondered who he had been and what his story was. But in the end I thought he was another human like me.
Recently I’ve found myself looking down on the idiots that are spreading the virus. But they are human too. I’m not sure how I can stop looking down on them – looking down comes so natural.
