This is a psychological case study in itself. Lakhtakia write “to dust returneth”, Bruhn “sic transit gloria mundis” which means in Latin “thus passes worldly glory”. This is Sunday sermonizing at its most boring. So I answered “gloria mundis gloria mentis est”, which is Latin for “worldly glory is the mind’s glory”. The psychological profiling of these people would reveal the desire to destroy coming from an inner and perceived inadequacy. No balanced people would behave like this, as we all instinctively feel. They comb the web for every little thing that can be thrown, however trivial the speck of dust. This is actually a well known mentality in science, and Newton for example was subjected to such treatment for his first book on optics. He has to be persuaded by Halley to write up his work in Principia Mathematica Philosophiae Naturalis. The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy.
