“And platting a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and gave Him a cane in His right hand; and, kneeling before Him, mocked Him, saying: Hail, King of the Jews! "
Holy gospel from Matthew 27:29
⠀
This was the case 2,000 years ago. He who managed to gather a huge number of followers, who gathered huge crowds for his sermons and had an incredible rating, received a crown and thorns.
⠀
Today, who called himself a king and gained subscribers, receives a crown of tangled USB, Type-C wires, headphones and chargers. A crown that also causes suffering, albeit not physical.
⠀
The leader of opinions, gradually becomes a slave to his status. He must be constantly online, he must post, tweet, like and comment. Otherwise, they will quickly forget about him.
⠀
This was the preamble. But in fact, this character, in his entire short life - from the moment the idea was born to the writing of these lines - never aroused my sympathy. Unlike character number 1. Do you know why?
⠀
In the modern world there are many people, organizations, services and entire departments - which do not bring any benefit. And this is the best case. Sometimes, all their activities are aimed only at hindering and harming. And they are rewarded for this in the form of a salary. I myself had to be in this role. And in order to somehow justify their existence in their eyes, they decide to imitate suffering.
⠀
See, we are useless, we harm. But we do it without pleasure. It's even unpleasant for us. Only for me - an outside observer - their sacrifice is not interesting and not obvious.
⠀
Therefore, what you see in this photo is just an image in the head of one person who has pulled on a virtual crown and is experiencing virtual suffering.
⠀
The further from Golgotha, the smaller the cross becomes
