Sad to say I think Melania is likely both stupid and self-interested. She doesn't care about others, but plenty of us do, so I'll keep right on giving her as little space in my head as possible. I had never heard of Maurice Sendak's "Pierre - A Cautionary Tale". I also had not realised that Sendak lost several family members to the Nazi Holocaust, so we can understand why he saw not caring as a problem .....
Thanks for sharing that about Sendak, I didn't know about that, and glad to intro you to stubborn Pierre! (And you're right about Melania...no hope for her)
I always love that Pierre book, maybe because he seemed so brave not to care about anything when I cared about too much lol. Lucky for him the lion spit him back out. We could only hope he wouldn’t spit Melania back out!
This writer suggests nihilism is a necessary phase in a society where old meanings collapse faster than new ones can be created: https://jimpalmerauthor.substack.com/p/z-unbranded-unbought-unafraid
I'll send you a pdf.

There's really something compelling about that Pierre. I envied him too I think. How brave and crazy!
Being in the belly of the lion might mess up her hair! I think the perspective would be important for her.
