A: Why are you so angry?
S: They broke my heart.
A: They are telling you that they did nothing to you.
S: Yet they broke my heart.
A: This world? Work? Love?
S: Why say? Perhaps all, perhaps one.
A: How can you be angry?
S: Achilles was the greatest. His anger was such that he would not fight in the war where his exploits would become legendary, the war that is the destiny of the warrior.
A: He did fight.
S: Have you discovered why he fought though? It was also the anger of the broken heart, when they killed his lover.
A: The moral of this story?
S: The Greek myth makes him a slave for their fight through the anger of a broken heart. This is the journey of a broken heart in Greek culture, in Western culture.
A: You said you are Achilles. Will you not fight for the anger of the broken heart?
S: Not as the slave. Do you know why Achilles was the greatest? He had his mother’s protection. He fell where his mother could not protect him. The Mother protects me. I fight for her honour. They cannot have me as their slave. I am Punjab. I am India. I am The Tiger. I fight for The People as their prayer, The Oppressed. For the others, I will not fight. Their power cannot corrupt the son and the lover. This anger of the broken heart will remain directed at them. The ending of Achilles cannot be the ending of The Tiger.
A: Burning in anger will kill you.
S: Death before dishonour. Death is sweet. And anger? It is strength. It is the strength to carry on, to carry honour. Achilles is angry because he has honour. He is broken hearted because he has honour. This is why he can go against power and all, this is why he is exceptional and alone. This is why he is the greatest.
