According to Frederick Douglass, in the U.S.A, fist fights would break out amongst slaves who argued about whose slave master was the best, the richest, the most powerful, the kindest etc. but that doesn’t mean that what their masters did was kind in any meaningful sense. Before shooting himself in the head in front of the Greek parliament Dimitris Christoulas said:‘I am not committing suicide. They are killing me.’But were there is no victimization there is no crime.
"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
