Summary

This quote suggests that in an inherently unjust and harsh world, there is no predetermined moral code or actions that can be deemed universally right or justifiable. It implies that the reality of our existence is governed by unforgiving and impersonal forces, making it difficult, if not impossible, to establish fixed ethical standards or make any meaningful efforts to combat the prevailing conditions. It highlights the struggle of finding purpose and morality in a world that fundamentally lacks inherent fairness.

Places are produced in that wonderful interaction of people, place, narrative, and time. When the people desert these places, narratives are forgotten, ties break, and the place is unmade. What is un-remembered in abandonment cannot be re-remembered in transient automobile suburbs with too few places for shared experience and story making. The extreme is amnesia, and it means that those afflicted do not know who they are anymore. They are disoriented, isolated, and robbed of the ability to recognize emotional attachments to others. The sufferers do not have a coherent story anymore. Un-remembering is the enemy of good places and of public history.
