“I’ve always been sensitive to the pain of others, always tried to feel a part of everyone else’s suffering.”
— Roberto Bolaño, The Savage Detectives
We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says, “Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.” I suppose we all thought that one way or another.
