You are personally responsible for becoming more ethical than the society you grew up in.

“The loneliest people are the kindest. The saddest people, smile the brightest. The most damaged people are the wisest. All because they do not wish to see others suffer the way they do.” (inspired by this x)

You get a strange feeling when you’re about to leave a place. Like you’ll not only miss the people you love but you’ll miss the person you are now at this time and this place, because you’ll never be this way ever again.

You may be surprised to find how quickly daily routine and the demands of “just getting by” absorb your waking hours. You may be surprised matters of habit rather than thought and inquiry. You may be surprised to find how quickly you start to see your life in terms of other people’s expectations rather than issues.

The West Wing premiered on this day 16 years ago (September 22, 1999)

Pretty much up until The West Wing, our leaders had always been portrayed in popular culture as either Machiavellian or dolts. But I thought, “What if we show a group of people who are highly competent, they’re going to lose as much as they win, but we’re going to understand that they wake up every morning wanting to do good?” That was really the spirit behind The West Wing. - Aaron Sorkin

It’s messing people up, this social pressure to “find your passion” and “know what it is you want to do”. It’s perfectly fine to just live your moments fully, and marvel as many small and large passions, many small and large purposes enter and leave your life. For many people there is no realization, no bliss to follow, no discovery of your life’s purpose. This isn’t sad, it’s just the way things are. Stop trying to find the forest and just enjoy the trees.

I knew it wasn’t too important, but it made me sad anyway.
