this photo of an american soldier using a flamethrower in okinawa
in the flames and smoke emerges a horrific shape of what looks like a mythical japanese demon with gruesome mantis arms
as if he's torching Japan and out spews the evil that infested its culture and led to the crimes they committed


how nice it'd be to have a wikipedia article on something you've done that displays the depths of the human condition (even if it's a war crime)
You don't even need to have a noteworthy life otherwise. Having that privilege already puts you above an actor or whatever. The guy who assassinated Inejirō Asanuma has a way larger presence in the timeline of history than any celebrity I can think of.
his conviction and purity melded into a blade as sincere as a force of nature
capturing the tragic transience of tears in rain is beyond important!

after all, you don't want to end up like dino island.
millions of years that may as well have passed in the blink of an eye.
but even if dino island has no personal records, it's the concept of it that brings such weight. or rather, it's the concept of a time that existed and never will again.

today is the best time in history to be able to experience Dino Island
66 million years ago was the worst
and even if we recreate it now
it will not be the same
for really its those 66 million years that I grieve

anyways,
