O Sono da Razão Gera Monstros
Apesar de toda a informação, o preconceito consegue ser mais forte, e por consequência, horrendo.
E não é um preconceito gerado por medo. Pelo menos não exclusivamente. Assenta sim num mecanismo demasiado popular, que consiste em varrer a suposta sujidade para debaixo do tapete, e esperar que ela se conforme a ficar aí.
O esforço para entender é completamente posto de parte, porque a qualificação das pessoas surge como um automatismo social . Muita gente nem sequer tem a vergonha necessária para ser ao menos subtil, já que pensar, reflectir e agir positivamente não lhes passa definitivamente pela cabeça.
Continua a ser muito dificil para muita gente fazer o exercício da inversão. Não conseguem colocar-se na pele do outro e perceber que a solidariedade e compreensão podem muito bem fugir-lhes a certo ponto das suas vidas. A solidão mata, mas ela emerge por geração espontânea.
Lamentável...
"For Mlangeni, the rejection he encountered at his father's house grew so painful that he moved out. He and his father had never had an affectionate relationship, Mlangeni said, but he was comfortable in the large, lavish brick home they had shared for 22 years after his parents broke up.
The HIV test changed that. His father virtually stopped speaking to him and locked the outer gate, saying he should no longer visit friends. After three weeks, Mlangeni moved into his mother's one-room shack, because she accepted his sickness unconditionally."

"The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them - words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out. But it's more than that, isn't it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller, but for want of an understanding ear."
