Unpardonably Stupid
Sep. 15th, 2024 08:47 pmTheir colors and patterns, they said, were not only exceptionally beautiful, but the clothes made of their material possessed the wonderful quality of being invisible to any man who was unfit for his office or unpardonably stupid.
~ from The Emperor's New Suit by Hans Christian Andersen
Of finer taste or unfit for office?
In any day that the sun shines or that it doesn't, I'm a person of 'finer taste'. I'm affected, even when I try to convince myself, I am "more objective than that". I think any human, at least in part, values based on concurrence. In the music I like, the art I enjoy, the clothes I wear, the words I like to read - I am often like a tuning fork's resonance - when Middle C is in the air.
Oh it may well be one of my greatest imperfections. But so it is for most folks. But in all of this, I do strive, on occasion, to be 'unfit for office and unpardonably stupid'.

"You smell like moonlight and
Early morning rain
Pray tell a fool might surrender to your pain
Or find a cure for your decay".....From this lovely song:
