when you’ve got an Opinion™ but you know it’ll open up The Discourse™ so you gotta hold in all your emotion

What I tend to see happening more and more is people retreating into their own corners. People seem scared to get things wrong or be shouted at so they form villages in which they agree with every other member, and maybe they go out and shout at the people in the next village for fun, but there’s no interchange of ideas going on. I think we have to encourage the idea that you’re allowed to think things. I have thought a great many stupid things over the years, and I can tell you that there’s not one stupid thing that I ever thought where I changed my mind because someone shouted at me or threatened to kill me. On the other hand, having great discussions with good friends, possibly over a drink, has definitely changed my mind and made me try to do better. You’re allowed to do better, but we have to let people do better.

Steve is such an overdramatic shit.  Gets the shit beat out of him?  “I CAN DO THIS ALL DAY.”  Best friend goes missing?  Immediately decides to go on foot to rescue him through a fucking war zone.  Best friend dies?  Flies a plane into the fucking ocean and refuses to give his coordinates to the person he’s actively talking to on the radio.  Wakes up in the future?  Beats the shit out of a million punching bags.  Discovers he’s actually working for his enemy?  DESTROY THEM.

The planet does not need more successful people. The planet desperately needs more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers and lovers of all kind.

At least you have a lovely smile 😁
