"you don't owe anyone anything" You are a tar pit. Speak for yourself. I personally owe the cafe employees my dishes put away and my friends a listening ear and small scared insects a cup and a gentle trip outside. Hyperindividualism is a rancid infection borne of capitalism and willfully misinterpreted therapyspeak and I will defy it by continuing to be kind regardless of whether or not it benefits me personally

"Del Toro sees Victor as "an arrogant, abusive father" and the monster as a "tragic child." "Our Victor is a selfish child," says del Toro, "who was hurt himself and therefore thinks the world owes him everything. He is trying to measure up to 'Daddy' ... Victor is like some tech bros— oblivious to consequence-consumed by a vision in the abstract. And, like all tyrants, he believes himself a victim." [Frankenstein: Written and Directed by Guillermo del Toro]

"There may not be, you know, as much humanity in the world as one would like to see, but there is some. There's more than one would think. In any case, if you...if you break faith with what you know...that's a betrayal of many, many, many, many people. I may know six people, but that's enough. Love has never been a popular movement and no-one's ever wanted really to be free. The world is held together, really it is, held together, by the love and the passion of a very few people. Otherwise, of course you can despair. Walk down the street of any city, any afternoon, and look around you. What you've got to remember is what you're looking at is also you. Everyone you're looking at is also you. You could be that person, you could be that monster, you could be that cop. And you have to decide in yourself not to be."
