"we can disagree and still love each other, unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist"
—James Baldwin
The more religious you become, the more you get detached from reality. You begin to see every challenge as a spiritual attack and every battle begins to have invisible enemies.
This sentence by Van Gogh hits hard:
“If I am worth anything later, I am worth something now. For wheat is wheat, even if people think it is a grass in the beginning.”
