"That is precisely what it is: there is nothing either amusing or witty about it, it is simply cruel and stupid" quote from Leo Tolstoy (the master himself)
Many literary works are based on the universal theme of a loss of innocence. They are written about the first time a human being discovers how crude and abhorrent the world really is. Seamus Heaney used a 'flaxdam' full of frogs to explore the concept and Tennesee Williams uses the poor victim Blanche to expose the barbarity of mankind. This extract, however, is not exploring a loss of innocence but rather an aquisition of indifference.

just something random for you all.
