Ein Tyrann übertreibt es (172 Aufrufe)

Aelian, Varia Historia XIV 22:
Note that a tyrant of Troezen, who wanted to eliminate plots and conspiracies against himself ordered people not to speak to each other in public or private. The situation was impossible and grave. But they got round the tyrant’s order, by nodding and gesturing to each other, and by giving sharp or peaceful or cheerful looks. Every man obviously frowned at unwelcome news or hopeless situations; his face showed his emotions to anyone nearby.

This too vexed the tyrant, and he felt sure that even silence accompanied by a wealth of gestures was bound to create trouble for him. So he put a stop to it. One of the men irritated by the impossible situation, in his annoyance and desire to end the tyranny, arrived in the main square und stood there weeping profusely. A crowd arrived and stood around him, sharing in his grief. News reached the tyrant that no one was using gestures any longer, but tears were the convention.

Anxious to stop this as well, abolishing not only freedom of speech, not only freedom of gesture, but also the natural freedom of the eyes, he arrived quickly with his bodyguard to put an end to the tears. But the crowd on seeing him at once seized the guards’ weapons and killed the tyrant.

Heute unterbindet man Gespräche am Arbeitsplatz, z.T. sogar mittels Kameraüberwachung.
Wo diskutiert wird, entsetzt Kritik und Zweifel am System.
Als ob Demokratie nicht gerade vom Dialog lebe!
Vom zwischenmenschlchen Schaden ganz zu schweigen.
