Reason about Joy as a #tyrant:

With what shamelessness do you live in the city where, as you know, your life is hated by all, your death is desirable to all and where you can be sure that everyone wants you to be brought down like a rabid wolf in a peaceful herd?

Qua postremo impudentia in ea urbe vivis, in qua vitam tuam omnibus scis invisam, mortem cunctis optabilem, ubi esse neminem certus es qui non male perditum te velit, lupum miti de grege sevissimum?

-- #Petrarca, De rem. 1.95.10

But the worst thing in the lives of #tyrants is that they fear those they should trust and always trust those who are not trustworthy.

Sed hoc pessimum habet tyrannorum vita, ut quidus fidendum est metuant semper fidantque quibus fidei nichil est.

Francesco #Petrarca, De remediis 1.95.8

Gaudium: Tyrannidem in cives exerceo.
Ratio: Predam atque carnificinam, auro implendus et sanguine, auri sitiens monedula tenaxque.

Joy: I exercise sole power over my fellow citizens.
Reason: You plunder them and slaughter them. You must be stuffed with gold and blood like a crow thirsting for gold.

--#Petrarca, De remediis 1.95.7-8 (On #tyranny)

Videbis usitatum et communem tyrannorum exitum, aut glaudium aut venenum.

You will see that the tyrants usually end the same way, by the sword or by poison.

--Francesco #Petrarca, De remediis 1.95.6 (On #tyranny)

Gaudium: Tyrannidem arripui.
Ratio: Abstulisti libertatem aliis, securitatem tibi, requiem utrisque.

Joy: I have seized sole power.
Reason: In doing so, you have taken away the freedom of others, your security and the peace of mind of all of you.

[15:07] 'Een zorgzaam bereide dis voor wormen': humanist Petrarca somt zo 150 typeringen van het menselijke bestaan op

Rijkdom, bezittingen of zelfs de eeuwige jeugd, wordt een mens daar beter van? Nee, wist Francesco Petrarca, Italiaans schrijver. De zin van het leven hangt niet af van aards geluk of succes. Niettemin ademen de vele brieven uit Petrarca’s laatste levensperiode veel energie, betrokkenheid en blijvend idealisme.
