Yes Bukowski is a tad bit depressing, but nonetheless he speaks a whole lotta truth. From the beginning in born into this he refers to the state humans are born into, this being a sinful nature. And all the things he talks about, nobody can really say that the statement is false, for as elevators breaking and political landscapes dissolving are real things that have happened somewhere, not only a perspective.
Then he speaks about how we are dealing with all of this. He claims we are dying and being muted by these things, this this, the dinosaur we all are...? Anyway, so we experience these unjust things in our society today and we adapt by, usually, being passive. Or maybe it is not being passive so much as it is we just do not know how to confront these huge earthly problems, so we fall to becoming mute and blind to them.
I also find it very interesting that he writes made inhuman by this. It struck me. My view of the phrase was to say that most assume deep down all humans are good and programmed to do right, but that our this has changed how we function. And now, we know how to decieve better than we know how to help out. I partly agree, but I think, all in all, that he leaves most of this piece open to interpretation so anyone can look at it and agree with some part of it. Towards the end, most would accuse a very extremist outlook but I think that we can still believe in hope in our race while acknowledging the fact that one day trees will die, all vegetation will die along with the other radical things he proclaims.
