"We wouldnt ever eat anybody, would we?
No. Of course not.
Even if we were starving?
We're starving now.
..
But we wouldnt.
No. We wouldnt.
No matter what.
No. No matter what.
Because we're the good guys.
Yes.
And we're carrying the fire.
And we're carrying the fire. Yes.
Okay.”
(The Road, Cormac McCarthy)
The Road' is of course also an allegory to the current destruction of the biosphere and the capitalist and fascist cannibalism we see around us. A call to be the good ones, to not consume each other and to always remember we carry the fire 🔥
