"Escaping into a re-enchanted past is less of a ‘flight’ and more of a catharsis. But there is an abundance of overlapping, conflicting and rivaling memories of the war (1975-1990 civil war).
So do we seek collective memory or collective amnesia?
An important caveat applies!
Forgetting always runs the risk of repetition.
O dreaded memories of the war. O atavistic internecine hostilities." — 19 hours, 35 min ago

"“O ship setting out on a distant voyage,
Why don't I miss you the way other people do After you've vanished from sight?
Because, when I don't see you, you cease to exist.
And if I feel nostalgia for what doesn't exist, The feeling is in relationship to nothing.
It's not the ship but our own selves that we miss.”" — Jan 02, 2026 05:08PM
