To me, a dead body is just a lightbulb that’s burned out – the electricity is not there, it’s just the shape that held it. Which is all the more reason that prejudice is so horrific. Because we’re judging people by the vehicle that contains them. You’re being cruel and disrespectful to their spirit. Spirit has no sexuality or color or accent or even religion. I suppose that’s why it grieves me ever more that people behave the way they do in terms of us or them.
