This could be my weekly ‘How dare you?!!’ piece.
Things people don’t understand they either destroy or hide
from their view. By labelling someone or something as different and less than
desirable it seems to make for the sanitised view of the world that they seek.
All fears are labelled grotesque and monstrous and war is
declared with them. This could be outright murder and genocide or more subtle
means of annihilation. You see, there are other means of destroying people,
ideas and places as well. The ruling powers can either hide them away
(metaphorically in the closet) or flush them away in a sewage-like system.
This is the way life is for many visible minorities that the
ruling homogeneous groups want to achieve. You may be a Muslim in a predominantly
Christian world, you may be homosexual in a mainly heterosexual world, you may
be African in a mostly European world, whatever the difference that is abhorred
the result will be the same: a systematic rite of ‘cleansing’.
If you take time to look at the sewage systems of most
developed countries you will discover that it is the home for unwanted items of
the everyday so-called civilised society. It is where things are dumped and
remain ‘out of sight and out of mind’. Sewage systems are usually designed to
function below the surface of the ‘usual’ everyday behaviour.
When people want to condemn you and your ordinary life to the sewers I believe you have a right to stand up and shout, “How dare you?!!”
