This world makes us carve off pieces of our soul to sell in order to stay alive. Your value is as a thinking, feeling, being.

Your value is quite independent from the payments this system deigns to bestow upon you.

I will, and happily have, given to those of us in need; of food, money, housing, and yes, inclusion. Those who are exclusionary though, they get the exclusion they want. I will not include those whose tounges have been sharpened into knives, not till their bloody mouths are blunted and washed.

The cancer has metastasized. It WILL kill all the healthy cells to see to its own delusion of infinite growth.

To elaborate, they want to 'be' good, not 'do' good. Doing good requires you to look at every action and ask, is this good or not? BEING good means that you can stop doing that questioning, because if you ARE good everything you do is good categorically.

You must realize that what they are fighting for isn't rational, and NEVER has been. It never WILL be. They're fighting to keep their awful story and culture alive (it's a culture war for them FOR A REASON). It's an irrational desire to never be forced to look at their evil, and instead 'be' good.

It must also be rooted in bringing a true sense of justice back, not cronyism, not "my side" garbage, but holding EVERYONE who has allowed this to happen to face justice.

Do they not realize that if we cannot eat, WE WILL KILL THEM?

I feel that too.

That feeling is SO REAL. I look at my wife and hubby and just go... but why tho? Then they remind me that they love me like I love them.

Love is finding someone who accepts you not "despite" your flaws, but BECAUSE of them.

I just appreciate seeing art that captures the feeling so well.
