From the mind of critic: “If we’ve grown used to shoving discarded materials in the garbage disposal so we don’t have to think about them anymore, has emptying it even crossed our mind? Do we believe our disposal is a bottomless pit that will never fill up, lifting the burden of discerning what we throw away? Or do we understand that no disposal is designed to withstand endless amounts of whatever we don’t want to look at, causing us to not only think about what we’re throwing away, but also what we’re using that’ll have to be tossed later? Whether it’s a garbage disposal, a rug or a bottomless pit, there are countless devices, metaphors and made up nonsense we utilize on a daily basis. Sometimes we have household trash, sometimes we have the remains of our dinner on a plate in front of us, and sometimes we have inhumane and dastardly acts we have to hide. We’ve all done things we aren’t proud of, things we either regret doing, or regret not covering up. We can either learn the lesson of what to avoid, so we don’t keep making the same mistakes. Or we can better at covering up our indiscretions, so we continue to do whatever we want, taking our misdeeds the next step. Once we realize that all of us have things we don’t want others to know, we’ll see exactly why politicians get caught doing the things they do, and understand that if we had their power and influence we would feel just as above the law because we are them. If our garbage disposal explodes from being overfilled, we either get a bigger disposal by getting elected to office. Or we become better human citizens by holding the world accountable through holding ourselves accountable. All schemes are discovered eventually, we gain peace of mind the second we start living our lives honestly” 🙂
