As long as people have had bodies, people have had shadows. I think this should mean something, but I’m not sure what. A quick internet search reveals the folklore surrounding shadows. Ancient peoples from one of those violence-obsessed empires once believed that shadows protected them and that evil forces feared the untouchable power of shadows. Of course, shadows cannot exist without a light source. And the presence of two shadows implies two light sources. Who, then, is my main enemy: the sun or the state?
