When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punishment; he needs help. That's the message he is sending. Thich Nhat Hanh, RIP 01212022 (age 95)

Every hour so many damn things in the sky! How in hell did those bombers get up there every single second of our lives! Why doesn't someone want to talk about it! We've started and won two atomic wars since 2022! Is it because we're having so much fun at home we've forgotten the world? Is it because we're so rich and the rest of the world's so poor and we just don't care if they are? I've heard rumors the world is starving, but we're well fed.

Is it true, the world works hard and we play? Is that why we're hated so much? I've heard the rumors about hate, too, once in a long while, over the years.

.Maybe the books can get us half out of the cave.They just might stop us from making the same damn insane mistakes!

Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury

-I tried to fit in, but I could not fit in. I tried to change, but I could not change. I stopped trying, and I succeeded . Me, 2022
