When Darkness Becomes Normal
What does it mean to grow up without words for "freedom" or "love"? In North Korea, language itself becomes a prison. Children learn to address friends as "comrades," memorize propaganda disguised as math problems-literally counting how many "American bastards" to kill-and believe their Leader can read their thoughts. Even the birds and mice might be listening. This wasn't dystopian fiction. This was childhood in Hyesan, a small border town where winter blackouts meant huddling by fireplaces, where paper dolls substituted for toys, and where glimpsing electric lights across the river in China felt like peering into another universe. The rigid caste system called songbun determined everything-career prospects, food rations, survival itself. One relative's imprisonment could destroy an entire family's status overnight, transforming respected military officers into social outcasts. When starvation killed millions during the 1990s collapse, people learned to shut off their hearts. Frozen babies abandoned in streets, bodies floating in rivers-this became background noise. That's what hell actually looks like: not dramatic suffering, but the normalization of horror until compassion itself dies.
