I fear there are too many realities.– John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley

I find myself seated at the Broadway Cafe, a quaint little spot that holds memories of countless musings and encounters with the written word. As I sip my Jasmine, the bustling streets of Kansas City pass by in a whirlwind of colors and stories. John Steinbeck’s words echo in my mind: “I fear there are too many realities.” [Steinbeck, Travels with Charley] His statement, a sentiment so…

I can't exactly describe how I feel, but it's not quite right. And it leaves me cold.

There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. There is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolize. There is a failure here that topples all our success. The fertile earth, the straight tree rows, the sturdy trunks, and the ripe fruit. And children dying of pellagra must die because a profit cannot be taken from an orange. And coroners must fill in the certificate- died of malnutrition- because the food must rot, must be forced to rot. The people come with nets to fish for potatoes in the river, and the guards hold them back; they come in rattling cars to get the dumped oranges, but the kerosene is sprayed. And they stand still and watch the potatoes float by, listen to the screaming pigs being killed in a ditch and covered with quick-lime, watch the mountains of oranges slop down to a putrefying ooze; and in the eyes of the people there is the failure; and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage.

John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath

All suffering originates from craving, from attachment, from desire.
