“We are angry and hurt. We carry so much anger and hate in us that it is slowing us down or stopping us from reaching our goals and destinations. We inherit hate and hate on behalf of others. We hate people who made a mistake by hurting us. It was not their intention, but that doesn’t matter because we were already ready to hate on them. We hate people we don’t know, or we have never met. We don’t know if they did what they say they did. We don’t even care. We just want to hate. Some of us started organizations, groups, political parties, or social media accounts to fight the people we hate. This day reminds us that we should reconcile. The problem with hating others is that it consumes you too. It haunts you and will stop any joy, success, happiness, and progress. I don’t know what they did to you, but you need to reconcile. You are not doing it for them, but you are doing it for yourself. If not, you will be stuck in life. Hate is a heavy burden to carry.”

“We are animals. Human animals. We have the opportunity to make a positive difference on our planet by choosing to put our money into causes in which we believe.”

Algorithms could right now be helping make people convert to a religion, drug addicts, vegan, LGBTQ, ethnonarcissists, fat, cult members, suicidal, narcissists, atheist, poly, mass shooters...”

“We are apt to consider that invention is the result of spontaneous action of some heavenborn genius, whose advent we must patiently wait for, but cannot artificially produce. It is unquestionable, however, that education, legal enactments, and general social conditions have a stupendous influence on the development of the originative faculty present in a nation and determine whether it shall be a fountain of new ideas or become simply a purchaser from others of ready-made inventions.”

“We are apt to say that a foreign policy is successful only when the country, or at any rate the governing class, is united behind it.

“We are apt to think we know what time is because we can measure it, but no sooner do we reflect upon it than that illusion goes. So it appears that the range of the measureable is not the range of the knowable. There are things we can measure, like time, but yet our minds do not grasp their meaning. There are things we cannot measure, like happiness or pain, and yet their meaning is perfectly clear to us.”
“We are architects of our own loneliness, meticulously building walls from old wounds and broken trust. Yet, in the quietest hours, a part of us desperately prays for someone to be brave enough to dismantle them—not with force, but with understanding—and find the vulnerable heart we left trapped inside.”
“We are arrant knaves all, believe none of us.”
