"You become responsible forever for what you've tamed."
- The Little Prince
I see all the headlines online...
Fears that the migrant-refugee problems signal the end of Britain, or Germany, or France, or all the white people in the United States, seems to be a big problem these days. You people read the news and discuss all of this in the church basement Argument of the Month meetings, so I'm not doing a big post about it.
The only thing I'd like to say is that in a strange way, it seems to me, we are experiencing a phenomenon of poetic justice. All the nations and peoples exploited and colonized by Western Imperialist powers finally may be doing penance and taking responsibility for past crimes.
What goes around, comes around.

ReplyDeleteColonialism has a very sorid history. As the tables turn it is not a pretty picture. Look what happened to Rome. The ideological battle being waged is monumental. We can be confident of the outcome based on revaluations but it does not mean it will be swift or easy. Victoria's children and Grandchildren populated the thrones of Europe. All met unhappy ends. Gods will will always prevail over men's or woman's.
