“How do you live with a true heart when everything around you is collapsing?”
For the past couple of months, I have delved into Hayo Miyazaki`s kingdom of dreams and madness.
I rewatched his works, documentaries, and read his biography. Miyazaki`s genius-crafted worlds and philosophy have always been an inspiration, but what draws my attention the most is how fragile these worlds are. It looks like they are destined to be doomed.
This obsession with an inevitable upcoming apocalypse is based on the fact that our actions, atrocities, and violations towards others and the environment do have consequences, and the fact that we have
either forgotten this or deliberately chosen to ignore it won’t change the truth that eventually it is going to affect us all.
As simple as this may sound, it looks like we have totally missed it, and since there are hardly any signs that this will change soon, the best thing we can do is learn from our enlightened nihilist Miyazaki to accept the inevitable, not with remorse but with a firm belief that we totally deserved it.
