–Love in the Time of Afghanistan–
As one who deals with language & the worlds it creates, I remind you that some of the most intense amounts of dissonance occur when numerous people use the same word, yet with very different definitions.
This is increasingly clear in days where corporations are legally ‘people’, individuals defend nation states like lovers, and bigotry is exported overseas in the name of “freedom loving people” and “women’s rights.”
For in the absence of a shared definition, talking heads will attempt to bruise beautiful ones in the seconds after they are barely born, using some perverted idea of ‘love’ as an excuse. Whatever they tell you, I ask you to not forget:
…love is not violent,
…cupid does not drive a predator drone.
