It came as a surprise to me after over 20 years of seeing “normal”  world maps to come across an upside down one.  The most surprising thing was  that I found it surprising.  It is completely artificial that we have North at the top of a map. The convention came a few centuries ago when Northern hemisphere, European navigators started using the North star and the magnetic  compass.  Before that, the top of the map was to the East which is where the word orientation comes from.

“Есть два главных человеческих греха, из которых вытекают все прочие: нетерпение и леность. Из-за нетерпения люди изгнаны из рая, из-за небрежности они не возвращаются туда. А может быть, есть только один главный грех: нетерпение. Из-за нетерпения они были изгнаны, из-за нетерпения не возвращаются.” —

Франц Кафка

ОМГ. Нашёл этот абзац во всяких цитатниках. И там вместо лености — небрежность. Небрежность! Я понимаю, что мне-то попалась английская версия, и там тоже всё переврали наверняка, и надо смотреть в оригинал. Но небрежность! Халатность и невнимание вместо неподвижности, праздности и вялости.

Про нетерпение и лень — это мой случай и история моей жизни. Про небрежность — уже не совсем.

А между тем в оригинале используется lhostejnost, которе скорее емо-похуизм http://slovnik.seznam.cz/?q=lhostejnost&lang=ru_cz
