It doesn't even click.

Because I don't think our brains can fully handle that much trauma at once.

So we compartmentalize it in a way.

We package it in something that's a bit more digestible.

When you hear figures,

of even just two people dead.

That's two people, two entire human beings with lives, interests, passions, relationships, connections, future, snuffed out.

And in a country like Grenada, from a small country,

100,000 people.

And I mean, I'm from Trinidad, right?

Which has a population of about 1.4 million people.

And it still feels like you know somebody who knows somebody.

The networks are so tight.

And it's even tighter knit, network-wise, in a Grenada or a Tobago.

You know, we're talking neighbors, relatives, split into sides, cousin blaming cousin, friend killing friend.

The decolonization never fully began and never fully completed.

There are social splits on the perspective on what took place.

You had the bishop was good crowd.

The bishop was bad crowd.

The bishop was bad, but the revolution was good crowd.
