"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

These suppressed emotions do not disappear; they metastasize, turning inward in the form of alienation and depression, or outward as scapegoating and unconscious malevolent politics. What if the foundation of true social cohesion is the collective acknowledgment of suffering rather than its erasure?"
