Pity the Nation

Pity the nation whose people are sheep, and whose shepherds mislead them.
Pity the nation whose leaders are liars, whose sages are silenced,
and whose bigots haunt the air waves.
Pity the nation that raises not its voice,
except to praise conquerors and acclaim the bully as hero

You don't always have to be strong. Sometimes you need to scream, cuss, throw shit, or have a really good cry. But you always, always, always, need to pull yourself back together, then go back to being the badass you were meant to be.

This picture should put a chill

"at the end of the day i am grateful that my heart cannot comprehend their beliefs.
i am grateful for my compassion.
i am grateful for my heart.
i am even grateful for the anger i feel because it is proof that i am full of love and empathy and passion.
i am grateful to not understand them."
