I JUST LEARNED THAT IF WE LOSE THE AMAZON RAINFOREST WE BASICALLY TRIGGER A LITERAL CARBON TIME BOMB AND MASS EXTINCTION EVENT, SAVE THE RAINFOREST RIGHT THE FUCK NOW
The kindest thing literature does is remind you that your peculiar little feelings have always existed. Someone, in some century, was equally confused by love, bored by society, tired of performing, and hungry for meaning.
You’re not supposed to read every book you buy right away. Often you’re not yet ready or not yet the person who can truly grasp it. You buy the book, try reading it, struggle, put it down unfinished, live more life, grow, and only then return to it when it finally clicks. Forcing yourself to finish it prematurely just turns reading into a Book Twitter or Goodreads number game instead of letting you absorb the book’s real essence.
If I say everyone should have access to food, clothing and shelter and your first response is "But..." Then our worldviews are irreconcilable and further engagement is wholly unnecessary.
The end.
