Sadece yaşayın.
Hiç kimse sizi istemese de yaşayın.
Hiç kimse sizi sevmesede yaşayın.
Hiç arkadaşınız yoksa yaşayın.
Hiç dostunuz yoksa yaşayın.
Hiç aileniz yoksa yaşayın.
Dertler çoksa yaşayın.
Sağlığınız yoksa yaşayın.
Sevgiliniz sizi terk ettiyse yaşayın.
Delicate List
Harriet Beecher Stowe’s 1852 book, Uncle Tom’s Cabin, the bestselling novel of the nineteenth century, helped whites to imagine slavery from the perspective of slaves and played a significant role in changing Americans’ attitudes toward the institution. Dickens’s Oliver Twist prompted changes in how children were treated in nineteenth-century Britain; the work of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn introduced people to the horrors of the Soviet gulag; movies such as Schindler’s List and Hotel Rwanda expanded our awareness of the plights of people (sometimes in the past, sometimes in other countries) whom we might never encounter in real life. For a more recent example, consider how radically the treatment of racial and sexual minorities in the United States has changed over the last few decades. Much of the credit here should go to television; we often relate to characters on our favorite shows as if they were our friends, and millions of Americans regularly interacted with pleasant and amusing and nonthreatening blacks and gays on programs like The Cosby Show and Will and Grace. This can be powerful stuff; it might well be that the greatest force underlying moral change in the last thirty years of the United States was the situation comedy.
