but every now and then i go watch a movie or two under the club and encounter strange bearded men who look like marx’s dead brothers and hippies who talk about camping for twelve years at the beach building radiowave transmitters over mining areas who get arrested by the cops impressed by how non electronic he is, and he amazed at what i am studying, asks about lynas and protest and green shirted men going against the uranium wasteland shit happening in the country.
but okay.
westerners seem to have this thinking having no humanity left to fight for, they fight for the earth instead. when there are much more grave happenings in the poorer parts of the country. war. oppression. murder. poverty. famine. (and then… idiocy). that they fight for liberation of the earth than the liberation of the oppressed people. either they don’t know or find it irrelevant, or foreign to their ears.
but a cause is a cause. but so weak a cause, to hug a tree to find solace in the woods to find it worthy to stand up for deforestation. humanism. environmentalism, what have yous. against all ignorance of the masses. to live, poetically (says Kierkegaard). and at this moment Qutb’s words somewhat ring true that all he sees around him are people who are willed but weak willed who are doing injustice to their own faculties to not be upholding what is ultimately the one and only reason for us being here; that is to serve god and inherit – govern – the earth.
(and by morning we shall inherit the earth)
and i, a smiling woman, i’m only twenty. but i am beginning to see the differences between a ‘developed’ and a ‘developing’ country is. i am learning.
