THE ART OF WAR: Man vs. Bull

[rubato]

Bullfighting is beautiful. A high art derived from both of our natures..

The stakes are real. Which is to say that it is brutal as life itself is brutal.

It will be a shame when it is eliminated. We will have lost something important.

There are several excellent documentaries which you can find. There is one about a bullfighter who retired reluctantly after a long career and many gorings.

Boxing should be outlawed because it depends on deceiving boxers about the nature of the costs to themselves, it is exploitation of human beings. But Bullfighters suffer no illusions about their own risks.

Yeah, fuck the bulls, it's all about the bullfighters.

Ah, it is on Netflix "Gored a love story". Worth watching.


The bulls are expressing their true nature as animals. I do not ascribe to them the thoughts and feelings of a human. I only try to understand them as they are. They are brutal and aggressive creatures. They are beautiful expressions of nature.

I think you're actually talking about rap and hip-hop 'music', LJ.
I firmly believe that the rap/hip-hop genre was created to prove that disco wasn't so bad after all.
