In search of wrong

Me: why are you so obsessed with 1968?



I: because I am fascinated by this year that held importance for
many, yet there are those that believe that their presence, as in
on this earth, allows them privilege to something that is
clearly about spreading privilege or eradicating it.



Me: but why do you think this is important?



I: I have to believe that it is important, because so much importance is placed there. The fact that I or anyone else believes that they were makes it true whether or not it actually is.



Me: How?



I: because when you “remember” a time in which you were not present, it means someone is responsible for this memory. It means I remember someone’s interpretation. And if it was interpreted, it was translated. And if it was translated, there is always miscommunication. That is why I love the game telephone. It is nearly impossible for the first person to get the “right” message to the last person. But no one is really trying. In fact, people are trying to get it wrong.
