We have social practices in relation to which we are in a situation much like that of the Greeks with slavery. We recognise arbitrary and brutal ways in which people are handled by society, ways that are conditioned, often, by no more than exposure to luck. We have the intellectual resources to regard the situations of these people, and the systems that allow these things, as unjust, but are uncertain whether to do so, partly because we have seen the corruption and collapse of supposedly alternative systems, partly because we have no settled opinion on the question . . . how far the existence of a worthwhile life for some people involves the imposition of suffering on others.

the word ‘eunoia,’ which literally means ‘beautiful thinking,’ is the shortest word in english that contains all five vowels. directly inspired by the oulipo (l’ouvroir de littérature potentielle), a french writers’ group interested in experimenting with different forms of literary constraint, eunoia is a five-chapter book in which each chapter is a univocal lipogram – the first chapter has a as its only vowel, the second chapter e, etc. each vowel takes on a distinct personality: the i is egotistical and romantic, the o jocular and obscene, the e elegiac and epic.

And when at last you find someone to whom you feel you can pour out your soul, you stop in shock at the words you utter— they are so rusty, so ugly, so meaningless and feeble from being kept in the small cramped dark inside you so long.
