- Why would I be kidding? He has got not only the possibility, but also duty to fight for justice there.
Do you think otherwise? Why?
One has "duty" only WITHIN a pre-existing SYSTEM of justice, on whose parameters all involved parties concur. There's been little here to make me believe there is any such thing that might hold up its end of the transaction. “Good faith” seems a quite alien notion (see above on benefit of the doubt). On the contrary, the dozens if not truly 100s of the other aforementioned experiences suggest otherwise...
Any effort to carry out some SUPRA Polish duty, whereby justice on a grand scale, like karma, will come around, maybe at soonest, on our initial climb out of Chopina, depends, at this point in world history, on something like a robust Hegelian belief in the cosmic-connectedness of world spirit. And in fact, I do subscribe to something like that.
I bear these people no malice, nor, bless ‘em, do I think they do me. But good will is something else again. (But wasn’t Kant from around here?) Fortunately, however, the relevant cosmos extends beyond even the revised Schengen borders. And this butterfly would prefer to beat its wings afield, probably among some very particular amber grains, rather than his head (or just as likely, someone else’s) on some wall free enough of graffiti – if he can find one.
Rippling in a stream, spattering on a mural, or poesizing on a forum, I have to leave a mark – in all good faith, it’s my duty. One the locals, on the whole, seem destined neither to understand nor appreciate.
