Hate isn’t the opposite of love, apathy is. Hating doesn’t free you from feeling anything. You have to carry it around, using every scar, every little memory like a building block. Like a stone in a wall, until you’ve created a new person, a new life that you can live with. ↗

The earth only has so much bounty to offer and inventing ever larger and more notional prices for that bounty does not change its real value. ↗
