“El otoño. Nuestra barca en lo alto de las brumas inmóviles vira hacia el puerto de la miseria, la ciudad enorme de cielo manchado de fuego y lodo. ¡Ah! ¡los harapos podridos, el pan empapado en lluvia, la embriagues, los mil amores que me han crucificado! ¿No acabará nunca esta vampira, soberana de millones de almas y de cuerpos muertos y que serán juzgados! Vuelvo a verme, la piel devorada por el fango y la peste, lleno de gusanos los cabellos y las axilas y con gusanos aún mayores en el corazón, tendido entre desconocidos sin edad, sin sentimiento… Hubiera podido morir allí… ¡Horrible evocación! Execro la miseria.”

“Come credeva alla iettatura, era incrollabile nell’opinione che il colera fosse un malefizio, un espediente di governo inteso a sfollare le popolazioni, a incutere un salutare timore nei superstiti. Dinanzi allo zio duca, sapendolo dell’opinione contraria, più «progressista», cioè che la peste venisse per correnti atmosferiche, taceva prudentemente; ma con Fersa si sbottonava, derideva le quarantene e tutti gli altri amminnicoli fatti per darla a bere ai gonzi.”

“What if everything in Earth School is working exactly the way it’s supposed to be working, in other words—by teaching us things we can learn in no other way? What if everything (and everyone) that we label as “difficult” or “an obstacle” or even “dysfunctional” is in fact a deliberately designed construct meant to awaken us to our true natures—a divine crowbar, you might say, that is sent by the cosmos to knock down the doors of our ignorance, demolish our illusions, and give us the opportunity to move past our fears, find our innate courage, propagate wisdom, and help us to remember that we are of God? Of course we cannot know if this is how fate works, because none of us know how fate works. But in my life, I have certainly found that the Earth School model is a useful thought exercise during times of darkness, pain, and betrayal—for it takes me out of a victim mentality and offers up a worldview that feels far more empowering and fascinating than the limiting, anguished cry of “Why me?” A more fruitful question than “Why me?” could be “How might this terrible situation be perfectly designed to help me to evolve?”
