Extraordinary Discourse 223
And And And What sets worlds in motion is the interplay of differences, their attractions and repulsions. Life is plurality, death is uniformity. By suppressing differences and peculiarities, by eliminating different civilizations and cultures, progress weakens life and favors death. The ideal of a single civilization for everyone, implicit in the cult of progress and technique, impoverishes and mutilates us. Octavio Paz David Francey, Torn Screen Door The Bills, Nowhere To Be & All Day To Get There
