wish I could force some people to read mother night tbh
#like i dont know anyone *that* extreme obviously but i know some people who could use that moral lesson#like sure you dont hold those beliefs but youre still doing the active harm#you are who you portray or however he put it#'We are what we pretend to be so we must be careful what we pretend to be.'#i need to read more vonnegut tbh#i loved cats cradle and mother night but found slaughterhouse 5 kind of hard to read#but still good#especially the combination of care and apathy#mainly the dichotomy between the woman asking him to name the book 'the childrens crusade' vs 'so it goes'#he wanted to portray how deeply horrible it all was but... theres so much what can you do? so it goes#i will say theres more to unpack with slaughterhouse 5 and cats cradle though#i love mother night a lot but its very cut and dry for a vonnegut novel#and vonnegut said as much#anyway#i think with where i live some people could stand to read kt#im not sure kts a greater phenomenon#it.might be#but its definitely A Thing where i live#nd like.... there r so many people i know where like.. i know somewhere theyre decent and want to be decent but just want to fit in but...#have a moral backbone would you?
