Summary

This quote emphasizes the responsibility of the living to seek justice on behalf of those who are no longer alive. It suggests that the deceased are unable to raise their voices to demand justice for any wrongs they may have suffered; hence, it becomes the duty of those who are alive to take up the cause. It underscores the importance of advocating for fairness and truth, even in the face of opposition, and calls upon individuals to stand up for what is right on behalf of those who cannot.

I'm interested in trying to explore what I think is the truth at a given time in my life, and part of the process of being honest is - in my mind - talking about the idea that you're watching a movie. You're sitting here watching a movie. And I like that. It appeals to me intellectually, and also in a way I can't even explain.
