Ever have a dinner so big, compulsive gagging came after? I had quite a few dinners like that. Even gained weight. Precisely 35 kilos of excessive body weight.

Ever have a casual chat with a former rape victim?

Ever been forcefully stabbed with a haloperidol needle and knocked out unconscious over asking too many questions about the chemical elements inside?

Ever seen a person tie up a rope after a semi-hopeful cancer diagnosis? Oh illness, she’s always so unpredictable.

Ever laugh at someone feed on boiled wheat and pasta for a month? Did you ever try eating grains with little on it for a month straight?

Ever seen people that are shit at something you could full on do better? If only… Ever seen MOST people on TV?

Ever ask your ancestors to tell a story?

Ever been angry?

Ever been angry always?

Ever been angry with nothing to hold on to?

Ever been betrayed?

Ever stepped on a snail? How did it feel?

Ever step on someone’s heart? What was the reason? Did you feel guilty? Forgot it? Never even noticed?

Ever make a list of people that wronged you? Ever make a list of people that warmed you? Ever seen the same names appear on both lists?

Ever felt little? Ever feel enough?

Are you happy?

What’s your take on love?

Is your love more important than…?

How much territory does one mind really cover on a global scale?

Why is it called GLOBAL in the first place?

Did you ever wonder?

Would you rape? Kill? Steal? If you were allowed to do so.

Would you repent? Would you drown your guilt in more guilt?

See, our innocence is the root to peace and happiness. Globally.
