no evil forces in the world.
There are only people of awareness,
and there are people who are fast asleep -

And one awakened person can awaken the whole world.
One lighted candle can make millions of candles lighted
without losing it's light.

There is nobody in this country who got rich on their own. Nobody. You built a factory out there - good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn't have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory... Now look. You built a factory and it turned into something terrific or a great idea - God bless! Keep a hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along."
- Elizabeth Warren
Our honorable and worthy ancestors knew that the world was flat,
motionless, and the center of the universe.
They knew the human body could not withstand

exorcising witches and slaying non-believers.
They knew that it was a mortal sin to marry
someone of a different skin color.

of happy people and unhappy people
through two different, but complementary mechanisms,

in this case by sharing my emotional outlook on life.

Look at this butterfly, so beautiful, so delicate.
I can enjoy this butterfly from a distance,

away from the demands of the world -
even away from the attentions of those
with whom they are most bonded.
