No use being historical about this planet, it is just an imitation. As Lazarus is an imitation of Christ. As TV is an imitation of Lazarus. But my bond with Lazarus goes deeper, indeed nausea overtakes me when faced with the prospect of something simply beginning all over again. I cannot restrain a shudder.
Repetition is horrible.
Poor Lazarus cannot have known he was an imitation Christ, but who can doubt he realized, soon after being ripped out of his warm little bed in the ground, his own epoch of repetition just beginning. As a bit of salt falls back down the funnel. Or maybe my pity is misplaced. Well I am now explaining why my documentary focuses entirely on this moment, the flip-over moment. Before and after don't interest me.
