Description

King David had a son who instigated a rebellion against him and ended up dying in the process. His name was Absalom and was extraordinarily beautiful and apparently had extraordinary, striking hair, a real splendour. After his rebellion there was a battle and he had to flee and got caught in a forest with his magnificent hair in a tree - where he was pierced with a spear by the enemy. Tragic. I wondered if it was his vanity or naivety or just plain carelessness that made him not wear a helmet in case of war. If he had, this tragedy would very likely not have happened. If you are in a situation where you rely solely on your abilities and talents, even recklessly, then this Audiostretto may be a reminder not to become reckless and not to rely too much on your own abilities and judgements, but to be prepared for an unexpected turn of events.

I wish you an extraordinary day!
