Something you don’t anticipate after the deaths of your sibling, mother and father - when traveling with your wife and son - is that you no longer have any emergency contacts to provide (requested by the airlines). You’re an orphan by attrition. #grief #loss #family #travel #sorrow
Why Power and Wealth Stop Caring

Commodification and the contraction of intrinsic sensibility

Track 206 — Sorrow (A Aeolian)

100th unique emotion milestone.

A Aeolian — pure, unrelieved sorrow. No raised 6th warmth like Dorian. The minor 3rd defines its gravity.

44 BPM (slowest yet). 145 notes. 5:58. EH motif A4-C5-B4-E4 — the fall is the sorrow. Three celesta drops: memories of joy.

Modal series: Dorian → Phrygian → Lydian → Mixolydian → Aeolian.

A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

Our anger and annoyance are more detrimental to us than the things themselves which anger or annoy us.
 
[Ὄγδοον, ὅσῳ χαλεπώτερα ἐπιφέρουσιν αἱ ὀργαὶ καὶ λῦπαι αἱ ἐπὶ τοῖς τοιούτοις, ἤπερ αὐτά ἐστιν ἐφ’ οἷς ὀργιζόμεθα καὶ λυπούμεθα.]

Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher
Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 11, ch. 18 (11.18) (AD 161-180) [tr. Staniforth (1964)]

Sorrow remembers us when day is done.
It sits in its old chair gently rocking
and singing tenderly in the evening…
