Brutality - an endless search for perfection...

216.158.7.57

Human beings have been on that mission for the longest time. Still, the inventiveness of the evil mind sometimes is striking.

It can be argued than no intelligent person should go through life without reading the Gulag Archipelago. In that endless narration there is a particular interesting moment.

The chapter deas with the subject of latrine bucket and its effects on lives of former human beings, now denied any rights. The author notes that it is common to talk about the bucket as the symbol of suffering and opression, of complete lack of any comfort and of total humiliation. People talk about prisoners sleeping on top each other, of having to step on many bodies on your trip to that bucket. About the horror of being placed, and forced to sleep right next to it. Of an awfull smell...

All that is not real horror, the author states. The *real* horror begins when the bucket is removed from the cell.
