Those that frequent the street
Subject to black hats in flight;
But a dancer shown complete
A whirlwind of muslin or
A furious scattering of spray
Raised by her knee, she for
Whom we live, to blow away
All, beyond her, mundane
Witty, drunken, motionless,
With her tutu, and refrain
From other mark of distress,
Unless a light-hearted draught of air
From her dress fans

Question: |
Why would someone be quick to blame and criticize someone who has experienced a great misfortune or accident? |
Answer: |
Someone would be quick to blame and criticize someone who has experienced a great misfortune or accident because, according to the passage, people tend to turn on those who have been affected by an unfortunate event. The passage states, "Wer will, der habe darauf acht: Wird einer in groß Unglück gebracht oder wessen Unfall groß, Auf den will gleich ein jeder los." This roughly translates to, "Whoever wants, pay attention: If someone experiences a great misfortune or accident, everyone will immediately turn on them." |

This creates a program for an artful primitivization of consciousness, which ultimately furthers the positive or negative differentiations presented by individuals. |
