Naufrage (np)

now I know like 5 words of French...

hey, how about this passage:

I was born healthy in the arms of a dying civilisation, and throughout my existence, I have had the feeling of surviving ... while so many things around me were falling apart; like characters in a film who are crossing streets where all the walls are crumbling, and who come out somehow unscathed, shaking the dust off their clothes, while behind them the entire city is no more than a pile of rubble.

-- "mba-kayere" this is some world view. survivors' guilt. ach!
