turns out, reading a lot, exercising, loving people without expecting anything back, protecting your alone time, focusing only on improving yourself, and sometimes staying out late with friends who make you laugh until it hurts is a pretty good way to live.
the pigeon doesnโt understand your disdain for it; it coos for you anyway. the tree does not know you own an axe for it; its leaves sway in the sun anyway. the starving cat eats the poison you put out. it doesnโt know how not to trust. the earth forgives you, in spite of yourself
what grieves me most about our syrian wound isnโt the wound itself , but the fact that the whole world has trivialized it and made it a subject of ridicule
with each passing day
my bitterness toward this cruel world grows stronger
