I'm not crazy about earnestness.

And I do understand the function of earnestness in the world and in literature.

To me, it can be deadly.

You know, earnestness is needed to fight against that.

But if you are earnest, it can kill you.

I just came back from Lebanon.

It's almost hopeless.

So if you are earnest and want to change the world, which I really appreciate it, it is really difficult.

For me, the only way you can survive Lebanon is with a sense of humor.

But it still clearly has a huge hold on you.

Of course it does.

And as much as I try to deny it, I come crawling back.

It's been really difficult since the Gaza genocide.

Because some of the same things are happening in Lebanon.

You know, the south has been razed completely, like there is not a single building left within like 20 to 30 kilometers from the border.

All these villages have disappeared and stuff.

What is truly, though, sad is that for a lot of Lebanese, it's as if nothing is happening because Lebanon is so divided in some ways.

And that's what I mean by it's not very hopeful.

They have trouble translating them for two things.

One is sexuality.
