pottedmusic:youmissedthewholeshow:They heard me, but they listened to you.Etgar Keret has this short story called “An Asthma Attack.” The punchline goes like this:When someone, while having an asthma attack, says “I love you” or “I really love you”, there’s a difference. A word difference. And a word is a lot, because that word could have been “sit”, “Ventolin” or even “ambulance”.Shcherbina, who can barely breathe, uses his very limited oxygen to go, yeah, sure, I’ll help him commit political suicide & career suicide, because that’s what he chose, and that’s the right thing to do morally, even if it won’t do a lick of good pragmatically, but I’ll help him to go out in a blaze of glory, with dignity, doing what he loves: speaking truth to power against all odds.Let him speak. -- source link
