Intentions
Torn between the two, I have always been obsessed with the difference between the two prejudices. On one hand we have the uneducated, those who know only physical work and the school of life who see the “educated city-nerds” as unpractical dreamers. On the other hand, we have the educated who brand the uneducated as “stupid” and regard them as brainless sheep, accusing them of violence. It would appear that this conflict has recently become a global phenomenon. « Blue Moon » is about the scars an adult is left with as a result of wars of opinions waged during childhood between the violent uneducated and the allegedly non-aggressive, better educated. Growing up in such a family, I concluded there was violence on both sides, it just took different shapes and forms. It wasn’t always about physical damage, it could also be about subtle psychological casualties.
« Blue Moon » gives credit to both sides raising the question: how far does one go to defend ones principles?
