Quote by David Omrai

“Cruelty shouldn't be met with more cruelty; the cycle of violence must end. Yet, survival often demands a fight, and sometimes there's no clear answer to be applied. Choose your battles wisely; sparing the strike may be your first step away from your demise.”

“I saw her, books in hand, trying to avoid the eyes of the children who targeted her. My grandmother, who only wanted books that did not have the pages torn out of them, who only wanted to be able to use the restroom in a bus station without being expected to relieve herself outside like a dog, who only wanted to walk through the world without being consumed with fear that she might be disappeared into the night. I imagined the faces of those white children on the bus, their mouths full of violence, their jaws contorted with callousness when their lips opened, their adolescent brows raised in anticipation of her quiet surrender. I imagined how the laughter must have cascaded among them. Their bellies full of malice. I imagined how their heads jettisoned themselves from the side of the bus, how their small arms clawed over half-opened windows just to throw food at my grandmother in a spectacle of cruelty. These children were not born to hate this way. They had been taught. They had watched their parents and they had watched the world and this is what they had been shown.”

“[...The secret to a good life] is easy, because it’s so simple. You don’t have a lot of envy, you don’t have a lot of resentment, you don’t overspend your income, you stay cheerful in spite of your troubles. You deal with reliable people and you do what you’re supposed to do. And all these simple rules work so well to make your life better. And they’re so trite. And staying cheerful ... because it’s a wise thing to do. Is that so hard? And can you be cheerful when you’re absolutely mired in deep hatred and resentment? Of course you can’t. So why would you take it on?”

“As you exist in the world among other people you may experience hate. A lot of times people will hate you because you remind them of their insecurities. You remind them of what they don’t like about themselves. You remind them of what they dreamed to be or have. You may sit and worry about the uncontrollable; but think about this. How do you expect someone to like you when they don’t even like themselves?”
