A town that does not keep its dead out of sight, that leaves people where they died, on highways and byways, in parks and car parks, is not a town but a hell. The fact that this hell reflects our life experience in a more realistic and essentially truer way is of no consequence. We know this is how it is, but we do not want to face it. Hence the collective act of repression symbolised by the concealment of our dead.
Lowkey truism. Hes not an anthropologist (to my knowlege) but hes making me wonder if im really fit for the field bc i just find this annoying. Reminds me of jeremy strong while were on the topic...
