“The eighteenth and nineteenth centuries abandoned the idea of spiritual or intellectual happiness in order to have this material happiness, consisting of a certain number of essential consumer goods. And hence, in the nineteenth century, happiness was linked to a well-being obtained by mechanical means, industrial means, production. The new thing that Saint-Just spoke about was that, in the past, happiness could appear as a very vague, very distant prospect for humanity, whereas now, people seemed to be within reach of the concrete, material possibility of attaining it. That was why happiness was to become an absolutely essential image for the nineteenth-century bourgeoisie, and for modern society. Happiness was attainable thanks to industrial development, and this image of happiness brought us fully into the consumer society.”

“The eighth deadly sin is lies that harm.”
“The eighth wonder of the world
Remains a woman who
Understands the value of her time
Because, she understands
The value of her self-worth.
And when she understands
The value of both her time and self-worth,
She can never let anyone treat her
Less than that...
Because her truth is now
Based in her ability to transform
The world, by transforming
Her world, first.
And so, she lives...
Freely, uninhibitedly
In now’s possibility,
Knowing, that now is
All she needs – to breathe,
To be,
The best version of herself.
Today, right now.
Her secret
Weapon through her individuality,
Her gift to this world.
Her unedited - You.”
