Its not a crime to wish for other worlds. Youll get taxed for it but they cant throw you in jail for creating your own private worldyet. Dramatics are fun, an indulgence. You cant go backward, You cant live in the past, they tell you. Why not? Youve got to put all that behind you and move on to other things, they say. Bullshit! These are all expressions of modern disposability. Its a mediocritizing techniquetrying to get rid of what I call past orthodoxies. Its our past that makes us unique, therefore its our past that economic interests want to rob from us, so they can sell us a new, improved future. Society now depends on a disposable worldout with the old, in with the new, including relationships. But how we weep and wish we could hold onto those cherished moments forever, to those long-whispered dreams, those tortured nightshow we want to grasp them and stop them from sifting through our fingers. I say, Dont let it happen. Keep things the way you want them and let the rest of the world be duped.
