Even Lovers Drown

The mermaid found a swimming lad, picked him for her own; pressed his body to her body, laughed and plunging down; forgot in cruel happiness, that even lovers drown - William Butler Yeats

anyway you should always remember that all those foreigners you see dying on the news are just as real people as you are who have just as much interiority as you do. there is nothing about you that makes you more important and it is by pure chance that you are not in their position. in fact, this holds for all of history. every person, no matter the horror of the fate that befell them, had just as much interiority as you do. i feel like some people haven't fully internalized this.
