#Bachofen in Myth, Religion, and Mother Right, traces images of #Ocnus. He was just a secure old guy, enjoying and idyllic evening, working his craft, hanging with his donkey. At some point that became a punishable image of sloth. My feeling is that the image has the potential to as a helpful as that of #Camus's #Sisyphus in #MythOfSisyphus. The symbol can be re-worked for sustainability and a #GoodLife that doesn't kill the planet.

This book, with #MythOfSisyphus, works like a secular bible, when someone need a little help, some clear thought to avoid doing something awful, stupid: to avoid going beyond reasonable limits, good sense... #HerbertRead seems interesting too.
