Long before the arrival of the delegation from Rome, Attila had probably made up his mind about further military thrusts. Epidemics in his army along with widespread famine were forcing him to break off the advance. But nobody knew it. So he willingly granted an interview to the imperial envoy, and in the course of it, he granted the bishop’s plea that the capital be spared. He even promised to withdraw from Italy, and he kept his word. The bishop of Rome had assumed a new role and staked a fresh claim on the future.

At the General Council of Ephesus (431), called by Emperor Theodosius II, who had until then supported Nestorius, Cyril got Nestorius deposed before the late arrival of his Syrian supporters. When the Syrians arrived, under the leadership of John, patriarch of Antioch, they proceeded to condemn Cyril and his followers. Finally, the Roman legates arrived and approved Cyril’s action. The whole affair was disgustingly riddled with power politics.
Eventually Theodosius II surrendered to pressure and expelled Nestorius from the capital. He died around 450, an exile in Egypt. Most of his supporters, however, refused to accept his excommunication. Nestorius’s followers fled to Persia and founded there the Nestorian Church, which soon enjoyed an active life.
When the waitress brought our meals, I congratulated her on her pregnancy. “You must be overjoyed,” I said.
“Not exactly,” she responded. “It was an accident.”
As she walked away, I couldn’t help but be struck by her frankness. Her casual remark was a reminder about the accidental elements that play into both our arrival into life... and our departure into death. Here was a woman, having a child by accident that she surely would come to love. As for me, through the accident of cancer I’d be leaving three children to grow up without my love.
“Bir şeyi elde etmek üzere olduğunuz an, onun size en fazla keyif vereceği andır. O şeyi elde ettiğiniz anda, sizin için her anlamda değerini yitirir. Elli metrelik bir yat satın alan adam artık yüz metrelik bir yat ister. Business class uçuş bilet alan bir kadının dileği, bir dahakine first-class uçmaktır. Hediyelik eşya dükkânlarında pırlanta kolye kovalayan kız, bir sonraki adımda daha ihtişamlı bir şeyler arzulayacaktır. Tüketime dayalı gelişen varış yanılgısıdır (arrival fallacy) bu: Aldığınız hiçbir şey sizi tatmin etmeyinceye dek böyle devam eder.”
He wrote in 1572 on commission of Viceroy Toledo, who had his own political agenda in trying to make a case not only that the Incas were usurping and tyrannical upstarts (and therefore not “natural lords” of Peru) but also that the last “legitimate” ruler of the dynasty had been Huascar—who had, conveniently, died on orders of his brother before ever meeting any Spaniard face-to-face. This claim implied, of course, that the Spaniards had not usurped rulership from a natural lord of Tahuantinsuyu but merely filled a void that already existed upon their arrival, hereby justifying Toledo’s order to have the last Inca ruler, Topa Amaru, executed.
