Territorial pissing and, yes, please do not confuse
"A study plubished in 1997 found
that drivers at a shopping mall left their parking spaces more slowly
when another car was waiting near that space than they did when no one
was around, even though that delay was costly for both parties. The
study’s authors attributed that finding to territorial behavior—”marking
or defending a location in order to indicate a presumed right to a
particular place.”
This behavior may be instinctual, but that doesn’t mean it’s just. Physical or legal, these walls implicitly assign different values to the lives of the people on either side of them. [...]
We should not confuse the accident of our birth on the richer or safer side of those walls with a moral right to exclusively enjoy that relative wealth or safety".

Here's a thought
We look on past ages with condescension, as a mere preparation for us... but what if we're only an afterglow of them.

Mas continua...
Let us oppress the poor just man, and not spare the widow, nor honour the ancient grey hairs of the aged. But let our strength be the law of justice: for that which is feeble, is found to be nothing worth.
Let us therefore lie in wait for the just, because he is not for our turn, and he is contrary to our doings, and upbraideth us with transgressions of the law, and divulgeth against us the sins of our way of life.

Let no meadow escape our riot
And our name in time shall be forgotten, and no man shall have any remembrance of our works.
For our time is as the passing of a shadow, and there is no going back of our end: for it is fast sealed, and no man returneth.
Come therefore, and let us enjoy the good things that are present, and let us speedily use the creatures as in youth.Let us fill ourselves with costly wine, and ointments: and let not the flower of the time pass by us.Let us crown ourselves with roses, before they be withered: let no meadow escape our riot.Let none of us go without his part in luxury: let us everywhere leave tokens of joy: for this is our portion, and this our lot.

Vamos à creche e há fantasias, lembranças para os pais, coelhos ou renas; vamos à pastelaria e temos poisson d'avril, ovos de chocolate, galette des rois; anda-se na rua e nota-se o começo da época das esplanadas, da Schueberfouer ou do gluhwein.
Claro que também nós temos símbolos regulares da passagem do tempo: basta ir ao hipermercado e ver que campanha de consumo nos acompanha, de Janeiro a Dezembro.
Mas aqui o metrónomo é mais presente.
