Frida: Who's this guy? Now and then he seems insightful – but other times so stupid.
Satoru: Perhaps just a fallible human being like you or me.
Ying: Huh? That's a "sellout" statement.
Dmiritri: How can there be a sale if there is no price?

$ellout / Sellout?

Even though a quarter of the world is starving
and those promoting peace are ridiculed

Even though greed is often paraded as virtue
and market laws define what people generally do

Even though individuals seem not to matter –
just the goods or services they produce

Even though machines are replacing humans
and intimacy is widely regarded as untrue

There's still something precious
about each breath

Such Vibrancy! Such Radiance!
Such Perfection Without Words!

Discover That
&
Practice Remembrance
so that hate, delusion & avarice
root not in yer breast
