Aaaah, my blog disappeared during publishing....

So I'll just summarise what I wrote:

• To me, the Pope is just a figurehead, ensconced in his ivory city, with very little inkling of what happens in the world at large, so his passing didn't bring a tear to my eye.
• I'm not really surprised, though I needed a timely reminder after reading about Beckham's life, that extreme wealth and worldwide fame is no magic concoction for happiness.

Darn, it feels good to remain at the same dismal level instead of rising like a rocket and falling like a spent meteorite!
