Fantastic book. To quote the words of Arundhati Roy: "The trouble is that once you see it, you can't unsee it. And once you've seen it, keeping quiet, saying nothing, becomes as political an act as speaking out. There's no innocence. Either way, you're accountable."
Thanks for helping me see more clearly the true contours of the life we live. I guess I'm accountable now.

Your analysis makes me feel like reading this book right away. But feeling myself more accountable after reading this book is a little uneasy feeling. Wish we have power to influence the good.

Knowledge is power, and as they say, with more power comes more responsibility.
The burden of knowledge, therefore, is a double-edged sword, as is everything that gives & takes.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Aijazz, quoting someone is *not* an analysis of a book.
Dials, yes but in a way it can be. It’s deceptive both ways though. I might read it to have a fairer idea.
