It gives you a reason to live If you don’t have intimacy, love, community, purpose, and all the validation that comes with these basic facets of healthy life. You get lost in the pursuit, and hell, you even make friends along the way.

Merry Christmas

    This got me thinking about EV Debs quotes. This one hits pretty good.

    The greedy, profit-seeking exploiter cannot see beyond the end of his nose. He can see a chance for an “opening”; he is cunning enough to know what graft is and where it is, and how it can be secured, but vision he has none-not the slightest. He knows nothing of the great throbbing world that spreads out in all directions. He has no capacity for literature; no appreciation of art; no soul for beauty. That is the penalty the parasites pay for the violation of the laws of life.

    I’d much rather chill with some druggies too.
