Apotheosis- the climax; the highest point in the development of something
Ex: The apotheosis of this Substack newsletter will not be quantified by the number of subscribers, paid or unpaid (the first is yet to be seen), or by the number of likes and comments on my posts (usually topping out at around 1-2 each), but by the number of lives I have touched in the process. Yes, money is cool and all, but as I write this to you from under my local bridge, sitting beside Tin Bean Can Garry and Peg Leg Jerome, I can assure you that human connection is what is keeping me going. How do you think we’ve survived all these oh so cold winter nights? Yea sure, the body heat produced as we huddled together like penguins and the discarded down jackets that we sourced from the back alley behind the Burlington Coat Factory helped, but nothing has kept us going so much as the camaraderie! While money may have given us a shelter consisting of more than just a concrete roof that cars pass over, and access to things like food and the ability to bathe in places other than a Sunoco station sink, would it actually have given our lives meaning? I don’t think so. Which is why the zenith, the pinnacle of this newsletter will be measured in the relationships that have materialized between myself and the readers. And what better way to give life to those relationships than through sending crude dick jokes to their email addresses. Hey Garry, pass me that computer duster, you’re hogging all the good nitrous!
Another winner 🤩
