"Father's Worry" by Kafka
Apprehensions for the destiny tormented like a dog.
Odradek means "discrimination."
He discusses discrimination because it actually exists.
Discrimination is the state of fears and pains of death.
It really seems to be wrapped with pains.
Discrimination remains because human beings give orders that
wanderers should take refuge,be oppressed,or be exiled.
However, there is no evidence to prove it.
(It can only be proved treacherously.)
Discrimimation exists everywhere - in evil mind ,group,class,men or women.
When one dies, he insists on his right,but the Jews can't be free from
the prejudice as being wanderers.
"What is cruel?"
"Discrimination is."
"Are you in a wasteland?"
"In a wasteland that is always frightening."
Although discrimination is an issue that is easy to be forgotten,
it confuses one's mind.
The Jews are not disgraced by the discrimination.
They should deliberate on this issue so that it may die out someday.
