Cecilia Giménez is the 80year old lady who defaced the artwork 'Ecce Homo' (Behold the Man) by Elias Garcia Martinez. It has held pride of place in the Sanctuary of Mercy Church near Zaragoza for more than 100 years, but residents of the small Spanish town are said to be very sad about the incident.
The responses about this has been so very mixed. Those who don't care about Jesus, finds it so amusing and obviously mock the religious aspect. I read an Ozzie male punk said that it looks heaps better... Art lovers are of course enraged. Others said that the lady did a good deed. I'm not sure just how good her intentions were, but perhaps she wasn't of a clear mind to do such a dumb thing. She even made areas that was lighter darker, and simply smeared his mouth. All that said, I believe that it was a valuable religious artefact, and it has now been destroyed forever. The hype about it is merely the fact that the event has been outrageous and tragic. Any bad news sells.
The latest news is that Cecilia is demanding royalties for the thousands of people now flocking to see this childish artwork. So much for the good deed the lady was trying to do.
Point is, how crazy is this world. I have much to say about how absurd most of the politics and individual behaviour has become. Governments doing people in and knowingly destroying our living environments for temporary benefits. I'm talking about Coal seam gas mining happening in Australia whilst we are being charged the highest carbon tax in the world, and exporting our coal to the biggest polluter in the world.
I don't mean to complain, but please live with love for others. It seems like everyone is so suspicious of others and people have so many agendas. Life would be great if we could just chill, do good and love eachother. That goes for politicians as well.
How strange is it that the trafic authority have to warn us that they are allowed to put up a speed camera. Does this mean that we don't know that there are laws regulating society? Do they need our permission to enforce this law? I honestly don't get it. As far as I understand, this is because of greedy lawyers who look for loopholes in the system and then exploits it for their benefit, making money out of our misery. There I am complaining again. I'm just not feeling the love!
