Peace

Whether individual, communal, societal, or on any scale, is the product of determining how to feel. Deciding what you need and what you don’t need, deciding what to make of the past’s disappointments and shame, deciding if the worst that can happen is tolerable or not.

Otherwise we’re just animals with the wind for a puppeteer, chaotically woven into the earth’s soil before long. Also, we’ll always be subject to authoritative rule and instructions/discipline if we can’t even settle disturbances within.

“In a world that makes you feel alienated, capitalism gives you drugs to make you feel better.” - Spoonboy, David Combs
