Life is a warped mirror. Action has reaction, like light has its inverted reflection. But we often don’t recognize the hate, selfishness, or love we send out—because they return to us distorted: as rage, apathy, or need. I'd rather be taken for granted feeding someone than watch them sicken and die of hunger. It’s these unseen, unappreciated sacrifices that hold society together. Everything we’ve ever had—knowledge, shelter, tools, peace—exists because someone cared, because someone gave without reward. Our gifts return to us, even if delayed or disguised. So if you ever doubt it—know this: putting out the fire of hate isn’t some lofty virtue. It’s essential, if we want to be more than animals. The world forgets this truth more each day. That’s why we’re slipping back toward the Ape. But apes live a hard life, brother. We’ve come too far to go back. Joy and peace are all around you—just give yourself permission to feel it. You deserve it. Life is very much a warped mirror, action has a reaction like light has its inverted reflection. We don't recognize the hate, selfishness, and love we put out into the world, when it returns to us inverted as rage, apathy, and dependence. I'd rather be taken for granted for feeding someone than to have to witness them sicken and die of starvation. These unseen, unappreciated sacrifices we make are what ultimately allows society to form and function. Every Single Thing you have Ever had, that you did not walk the land to discover, understand, and shape, you got because the sacrifices you throw out there were reflected back at you, though distorted in time. These vast riches, experiences, abilities, knowledge, we gained by making unappreciated sacrifices, by caring about and for, each other. So if it makes you feel any better, putting out the fire of hate is not an abstract ideal, it is an absolute essential if you wish to be more than an animal. The world seems to be forgetting this, and so we find ourselves lately becoming less Human, more Ape. Apes live a tough life man. We don't want to go back to that. Ok, enough ramblin from your nephews herb I smoked a bit ago hehe. Love ya brother, joy and peace are all around you, if you give yourself permission to reach out and feel it. You deserve it.
