I love this write up and absolutely agree. Why when I think of Bigots fear of being in contact with the other who represent utter death in their imagination; I think of Monkey King who destroyed the entire order of heaven and earth all because he was afraid to die. Same is true for Gilgamesh who sought immortality cause he couldn’t accept the lost of his friend and his own mortality. All those who maintain an oppressing social order is those who live without faith. Believing by keeping others at bay with violence they can preserves legacy, guarantee themselves security, and protect their ego/self identification… With all that power their attempts to conquer Mortality/Time as time allows even the most gentle streams to erode away the highest mountains seem so absurd.
