But weakness or fragility, as enacted by the dispossessed and marginalized, is a double-baked sin. The people in power don't want to be reminded of the historical violence underlying their position; nor do they want to be confronted with its palpable effects (especially when these manifest as affects).

If the world is sad - and I think we have established by now that it very definitely is, no thanks to us - then it is only our continued belligerence that prevents us from receiving the dispatches and logbooks of its countless constituents, pleading with us to cease our reckless and abusive behavior.

Human sadness as material excretion, manifest in our poetry as much as in our plastic, and in our sparkling new mega-churches or supermarkets as much as in our ruins. This heavy psychic, or even spiritual, baggage marks our species in sharp contrast to all the other creatures, who flow through life "like water in water," and who only know sadness when humanity introduces it to them.
