Not the apotheosis

Apotheosis

The peak, the best version of something.

I’m hoping this current time isn’t the apotheosis for the human race.

Now I’m going to have to go off on a tangent, rather than discussing just how dim witted, and lacking a social conscience so many people are currently.

I’ll come back to that at some point I dare say, today, tomorrow or another day.

Apotheosis, go on, say it out loud. It’s a smashing word.

I like a new word, and I like to find a use for a good one. I’ve been hanging on to apotheosis for ages.

I was shocked and horrified today by the news that a French bus driver was kicked to death for insisting passengers follow the law, and wear a face covering to get on his bus. I’ve been thinking about people’s attitudes to mask wearing. Admittedly this is largely in the context of the shite people spout on the internet, I thought that I’d found the perfect use for this beauty of a word, to define the opposite of the current state of affairs.

I wondered if there was an even better word, a word as gorgeous as apotheosis, but actually meaning the bottom, the worse version of something, someone, or a group of things, people.

When I googled, a word for the worse things can be, the top result was a website, Penile extender reviews- Top Rated Extenders Reviewed.

That has, I find, wiped my mind of sensible thoughts and I have nothing to say on the subject of attitudes to mask wearing. Although it now, this moment, occurs to me that some of those refusing to wear masks, sometimes violently, may have other issues to contend with, and I may have found just the perfect website to help them.

To illustrate this topic here is Michelangelo’s David, but just his beautiful face, not his small knob
