Two Fools

In history, jesters have mostly meant messengers for the ruler or for the ruling mentality. While ordinary messengers could be executed, a jester with a bad message mostly survived. It should be mentioned here that female jesters practically did not exist. The jester was not only a clown but also a teller of truth. However, throughout history, all women have been considered fools who cannot think independently, decide, or step in the right direction. Yet the message of foolsā€”especially for the ruling classā€”is in the hands of women. The announcement of the birth of the heir to the throne becomes possible only when someone gives birth to him. Thus, death is also the continuation of life for one born of a woman. Women have therefore been multiple fools throughout history: they gave birth to a message in the form of a new person, which one day also disappears.
