110. Wound

April 20, 2019

But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water. (John 19:34)

There is a nicely-vulgar joke about Christ: the night before he was arrested and crucified, his followers started to worry – Christ was still a virgin, wouldn’t it be nice to have him experience a little bit of pleasure before he will die? So they asked Mary Magdalene to go to the tent where Christ was resting and seduce him; Mary said she will do it gladly and went in, but five minutes after, she run out screaming, terrified and furious. The followers asked her what went wrong, and she explained: “I slowly undressed, spread my legs and showed to Christ my pussy; he looked at it, said ‘What a terrible wound! It should be healed!’ and gently put his palm on it…” So beware of people too intent on healing other people’s wounds – what if one enjoys one’s wound? (Slavoj Žižek, Event)

Pain don’t hurt. (Dalton, Road House)
