we want to live in...the question one of my spiritual teachers has been asking since before trump. this question doesn't even cross a lot of minds of the people i talk to regularly but i have been asking it anyways. i am beyond disgusted with this society. i talk to strangers now. i assert myself and my opinions. because more people need to hear that the social darwinism and unjust, unfair, unequal society we live in right now is a terrible FAILURE of the principles we are supposed to live in.
'we're human beings, we're not automatons. you work at your job but you don't stop being a human being. being a human being means benefiting from rich cultural traditions - not just our own traditions, but many others - and becoming not just skilled, but also wise. somebody who can think - think creatively, think independently, explore, inquire - and contribute to society. if you don't have that, you might as well be replaced by a robot. i think that simply can't be ignored if we want to have a society that's worth living in.' - noam chomsky
