Cashier: “Thanks.”
Emmanuel: “Can I ask you something?”
Cashier: “Sure.”
Emmanuel: “It's kind of a personal question.”
Cashier: “Okay.”
Emmanuel: “Do you mind?”
Cashier: “No, not at all.”
Emmanuel: “Sometimes, when I'm on my own, I imagine myself dying. Life pouring out of me like an open tap. Creates this river of my blood. My question is, have you ever noticed me float by?”
Cashier: “No. I haven't.”
"To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places...To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away and never, never, to forget." ~ Arundhati Roy
