I'm just typing right in this moment for you, ya know?
After all, what the fu$k could little, ol' me possibly express in the midst of all of this turmoil that is currently taking place across our Earth's soil? It's been a heavy week of unrest and protest - people all over the globe are coming out of their homes, emerging from their everyday routines and are taking to the streets to demand change. "But, what is it they want changed?" We're shown that it's Anti-American sentiment - outrage about a foreign film by the local orthodoxy. Yet, we aren't in the least bit encouraged to put ourselves in their shoes - we don't really know what everyday life is like in Afghanistan, Syria, Pakistan, et al. We haven't been taught how to try and feel what someone else's experiences are.
What we can know, however, is our own experience.
