Byrne Lyrics, Politics Notes, and Grief Memory in One Notebook Thread
August 22, 2020 Lehan Edirisinghe
I poured politics, religion, grief, memory, David Byrne, my father, machine-future dread, and my own social theories into one notebook-like thread, which is why the day feels argumentative, mourning, and self-explanatory all at once.
Predicting the Machines Will Win After The Terminator
The Terminator movie had a Hollywood happy ending, but realistically the machines will win and wipe us off.
Remembering Thathi and Wishing Him Peace in Nirvana
He was a fine gentleman and I was extremely luck he was my Thathi
Tragically, he was too good for this world we live in:
"Nothing is so good it lasts eternally
Perfect situations must go wrong"
His journey in Samsara will be shorter as his soul attains the supreme bliss of Nirvana to rest in peace eternally
His blessings will always be with Ammi, Malli, Nangi and me
(He told me I was his favourite)
