To be cast out is not simply to be deprived of rights or resources but to lose the very mechanisms by which one orients oneself in a shared reality. This recalls the broader existential stakes of exclusion—the erosion of common sense, taste, and love for the world. It’s not just about being politically or economically disenfranchised but about a deeper ontological disintegration.
"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
