I believe, that life is the definition of word ,,meaningless”. We are born in pain, just to spend couple of decades on Earth and, in best case, contribute to progress in science or technology. This progress will provide younger generations better conditions of living and finally, dying anyway. Life is basically agony expanded for many years. We all, as humans, create different ways to give our existence an aim- even there is no such a thing. That is why we seek for relief in art. Just to make our life a little less unbearable.
The 26th of November
Why do I think, that Thanksgiving Day is the most unethical American holiday? Over 500 years ago, some Europeans reached the coast of an unknown continent by an accident. This incident was enough for them to steal the land from Native Americans and consider it as their own. Over the centuries, Indigenous people were crammed into reservations for economic reasons. They were nothing but ghettos. More than 12 Million Native Americans were brutally killed because of the settlement of Europeans on their land. Countless number of woman were raped, countless number of nameless children were kidnapped and tortured. Even today, thousands of Native Americans live in mobile homes, thousands of Indigenous women are missing. They are facing racism every day, when their neighbours laugh and eat turkey.
