Fucking National Geographic

9 posts in this topic

I remember an old National Geographic magazine. On the the cover was an Indian man with his hands resting on clay and his head above the ledge, much like a child pulling himself from out of a swimming pool. Only he had black brackish water dripping down his face and his fingers were covered in a slime. He was a man in his 30’s and he had an enormous smile on his face. His teeth perfect, like piano keys. 

 

The article was about caste society in India. This man’s job was to crawl around in septic tanks, looking for evidence. He wasn’t wearing any kind of protective suit, and he didn’t care. That photo haunted me for years.

 

Then I realized. Sometimes you really can be happier than a pig in shit.

I guess my point is, as bad as we think we have it, the situation can always be worse and there are folks who can’t tell the difference. I have an admiration for them. That’s all. And you’re right. I probably shouldn’t have impregnated your minds with that image. I can go to dark places sometimes.

 

take care

I dont know which is more disturbing, that he’s chest deep in human waste, or that he doesn’t know that methane gas is fucking flammable.

Hard to know which of us is truly living and growing towards our full potential. Definitely some shit to swim through.
