The Trial by Kafka

*Spoilers if you want to read*

If you think you're oppressed, you are.

In the story the main character Josef K (referred to as "K") gets arrested at the start. Through out he learns drips and drabs about the legal system he's being accused by. He does not learn what he's accused of, when his court date is, and what his punishment might be. But rest assured, he is told his case is very serious and he is in a lot of trouble, so best behaviour yeah? During the year that follows he becomes a shell of what he used to be and what he stood for, becoming unfocused on work and no longer making meaningful relationships with those around him.

At the end he is unceremoniously killed at the middle of the night with a knife in the chest on a rock under the moon. K was strangely at peace with this.

K suffered more in the year leading up to his execution, every minute looking over his shoulder, wondering what, where and when any of the process would take a step forward. What a relief when it finally came to an end.

Most of our daily life is spent worrying bills, rent, relationships and anything under the sun. Worrying that the sky is going to fall causes more harm than the sky actually falling.

my favorite coworker told me the scenario she thinks of to fall asleep is she stumbles upon a baby sheep and has to raise it and it grows up and she has to shear it and she says she envisions shearing it so carefully that she always falls asleep at that part

this is the world ive brought my child into, what are we to do? but support them wholeheartedly

kids these days are resorting, due to the lack of third spaces, to an activity known as fishwindowing, which is when you go to your local big box supermarket and map out the blind spots in the surveillance cameras so you can come back later with a comically oversized trench coat and ask for the biggest whole fish that the deli section will give you, and then you shoplift it to take it home and freeze it. when it's fully frozen solid, you take it to the home of one of your local congressional representatives while they're on vacation and chuck it through the window so they come home to a broken window and a rotting mess of fish. which is of course a crime but what can you do? what is this world or our society coming to? we used to have values
