[1934 - Mao Zedong begins Long March]
[1984 - Desmond Tutu wins Nobel Peace Prize]
Dangerous Neighborhood
The more dangerous the world seemed to me,
The more I tried to learn how to survive in it.
The more I learned about requirements for survival,
The more dangerous the world seemed to become.
The more knowledge I amassed about this dangerous world,
The more of a threat I seemed to become to the established order.
The more of a threat I become to the established order,
The more dangerous the world actually becomes to me.
Ergo:
At the moment of my death, I will likely have learned as much as I can, and will have become as dangerous as I can be, and the world will have become too dangerous for me to survive in it.
