Differences in reactions to someone who doesn’t fall in line but gets ahead.

Classical reaction: “Get in line, brother.” Neoclassical reaction: “My dear brother, get in line.” Realist reaction: “There’s a queue.” Surrealist reaction: “You’ll make two of them swing, look at the Red Crescent, they can do it again.” Romantic reaction: “Sir, I guess you didn’t see the line.” Modern reaction: “Sir, our people are uneducated.

However, in Europe…” Postmodern reaction: “Get in line, bear!” Conventionalist reaction: “He wouldn’t have gotten ahead if he wasn’t in a hurry, don’t upset the poor guy…” Revolutionary reaction: “Our people will not get in line until the infrastructure problems are solved.” When the revolution happens, everyone will fall into line.” Fatalistic reaction: “If we wait two minutes longer, will the apocalypse come? If we are lucky, we will all be done.” Philosophical (septic skeptic) reaction: “The concepts of front and back are relative.

Who decided that side was the front? The one who thinks he is in the front may actually be in the back.” Kantian reaction: “Sir, there are no things that are not perceived. Don’t look that way, the man will disappear.” Pessimistic existential reaction: “Everyone will die one day. Wait with dignity. One day that man will die too.” Optimistic existential reaction: “Don’t worry? Try to enjoy the moment.

Look how beautiful you are in life and someone can get ahead of you.” Humanist reaction: “Humanity is a whole. One for all, all for one. Therefore, when one of us gets ahead, we all actually get ahead.”
