Look, Up in the Sky: It's Super Hate!
June 11, 2006
Stories have always been reflective, have always been ways for both the teller and the told to see themselves, their wants and their needs, described within a structure that provides both context and meaning for the events so described. No matter how fantastical the tale, at the core, it's always about a person and their identity , nebulously either the teller or the told.
The sad part is this "mirror" also allows bozos like this to read their own prejudices into a story. It's why they get down right apoplectic when confronted with the idea that others might dare see themselves in what they regard as their private mirror. Thus, they scream "Get Your Own Mirror!" never to grokking that the mirror, that the story, was never "theirs" to start with.
