We can see the world as a perennial garden constantly renewing itself or the illicit acquisition of gold filigree, when gold becomes fool’s gold, and tyranny turns to pathos.
My reading skills are rusty (i'm a young uni kid), while I understand that our ideals have been skewed to please those in power, can I ask what "tyranny becomes pathos" means? I see the words and the meanings but they do not resonate :P.
When bullies and oppressive governments lose power, they are finally seen as the pitiful flawed people they actually are. You can have a bully living next door, at school, or a government dominated by them. A "tyranny" is an illegitimate oppressive government.
The deemed but rootless exceptionalism of the human species is revealed in its grandiose urban architecture built in total defiance of Nature. The "economy" is an externality to the environment and must be brought to be contained therein. If it remains outside of Life, certain death is awaiting.
So true, Robert. I have a draft post along similar lines. Awareness of our mortality makes the moments of our lives precious. And the fools that are tyrants serve no one, not even themselves.

Ah I see, by understanding how they work, we reveal their weakness and flaws.

Today's pathos is seeing what humanity is doing to life on Earth...today and every day.
