“WHEN WE DO NOT SPEAK OF SOMETHING, OR RATHER, SPEAK LESS ABOUT IT…

…it does not mean we have forgotten it. Not so soon. People do not forget these sort of things so quickly. Only, these memories are archived in another part of the brain, so we can continue with daily living.

Do you know where we are left? Somewhere where They come and go, repeating their nonsense everyday. Going to meetings, giving lectures, going on trips, returning in the evening to the warm embrace of Their family. They hug Their children and crawl into bed beside Their wives. With those same bloody hands which can never be washed. And in the morning, They look at Their repulsive faces in the the mirror, and walk out of Their front door.

You know, sometimes the line between a human and a non-human is badly blurred…”
