we knew the world would not be the same.
a few people laughed, a few people cried.
most people were silent.
i remembered the line from the hindu scripture, the bhagavad-gita;
vishnu is trying to persuade the prince
that he should do his duty, and to impress him,
takes on his multi-armed form and says,
'now i am become death, the destroyer of worlds.'
i suppose we all thought that, one way or another.
