Intention

Be as awesome as people think you are.

Sentiment

Sentiment is a weight that tries its best, day and night, to chain me to the past.

יְהוֹחָנָן‎

I will never ask you to choose between your husband and I - I respect you too much to put you in a situation like that.

However, I will say this: if something were ever to happen to your husband - God forbid, but if it did - I am an option that you have.

The way you leaned back and playfully kicked your legs at me, like a little girl on a swing . . .

Sometimes it's hard to separate the emotion from the action.

Socialism / Crutch

Billboard: "We call for a radical redistribution of resources, because economic precarity is another form of harm."

Aunt Deeney: "I hope you're feeling generous, because some of us have made very poor decisions in life, and are therefore much more deserving of your new Mercedes Benz."

No. You earn it or you suffer. Social parasitism is not progress. Neither is adopting the identity of a self-righteous socialist in order to abdicate personal responsibility. 

Daryl: "This is the way it should be. There are two kinds of people in the world: producers and parasites. When a society gets too many parasites, we need the disaster, the tsunami, the earthquake, the war, the flood, the disease to wash away the garbage, to rinse the safety nets of the slugs that use them as a hammock."

You approached me from outside the abyss, reaching in to find me, knowing I needed you.
