“When you start to know someone, all their physical characteristics start to disappear. You begin to dwell in their energy, recognize the scent of their skin. You see only the essence of the person, not the shell. That’s why you can’t fall in love with beauty. You can lust after it, be infatuated by it, want to own it. You can love it with your eyes and your body but not your heart. And that’s why, when you really connect with a person’s inner self, any physical imperfections disappear, become irrelevant.”

— Lisa Unger (via quotemadness)

liberating women today by going out looking like absolute shit

[dovesndecay]

There is no “after the revolution.” No “ideal world.” I don’t care how much progress we make, we will always fail someone, hurt someone, and the best thing we can do is accept that, and keep striving to make it better as we go.

And don’t get me wrong, I don’t say this to discourage anyone from trying to make that ideal world. Quite the opposite.

I feel like it’s very naive to continue to approach these big changes we want to make in the world as if there’s an “after it’s all over” when we don’t have to worry about it anymore.

We should always be striving to make life better, even when life seems pretty damn good.

I hadn’t thought to call it “rapture culture” but that’s EXACTLY what it is

“If [the Revolution] is seen as having any end, it will never truly begin.”

–Ursula K. Le Guin, “The Dispossessed”

Additionally:

“The end justifies the means. But what if there never is an end? All we have is means.”

-Ursula K. Le Guin, “The Lathe of Heaven”

‘DOES THE END

JUSTIFY THE MEANS?’ this is

process, there is no end, there are only

means, each one

had better justify itself.

To whom?

“You are a mathematician. More than that, you are a philosopher of mathematics. So then, tell me: what is the final number?”

“What is that? I … I don’t understand: which final number?”

“Well—the last, the highest, the biggest …”

“But, I-330—that is ridiculous. The number of numbers is infinite; which final one do you want?”

“Well, which final revolution do you want then? There isn’t a final one. Revolutions are infinite. Final things are for children because infinity scares children and it is important that children sleep peacefully at night …”

“But what is the point—whatever is the point in all this—for the Benefactor’s sake? What can the point be if everyone is already happy?”

“Let’s suppose … Well, okay then, say you’re right. Then what comes next?”

“How funny. A perfectly childish question. Tell a child something— explain it completely, to the very end, and they will always ask, without fail: What happens next? Why?”

“Children are the only brave philosophers. And brave philosophers are, inevitably, children. And that’s just it—we must always think like children with their what-happens-nexts.”

"I hate then so much" says the child who just wants basic respect and kindness from those parents and who doesn't actually hate their parents

[slowlyrusting]

"I am just protecting them/ I just want the best for them/ I give them everything Idk what more they want" says the parent who probably has their own childhood trauma that they project on their children and subconsciously actually hate their child's inconvenient existence to them

[slowlyrusting]

I'm so bad with attention, so my good intentions get bad when you hold me. I get too tough on myself

Do I hate a shitty man? Yes. But a shitty man is not a shitty man because he is a man, but because he is shitty

yeah yeah yeah mortifying ordeal of being known and all that but sometimes a friend mentions something about you that you didn’t think was noticeable and it feels like your heart is being cradled in their hands
