This is some powerful stuff you are posting these days. I don’t understand why there are so few comments.
The pattern, as far as I can make it out, is that we have to take responsibility for our s**t and do what we have to do even when it hurts, or perhaps precisely because it hurts, and that if we can’t have what we love we must either love what we have or turn around and change it ourselves: we can’t depend on anyone else, the state or the government or any other authority. Change begins with you and you alone. Am I right?

I think people are overwhelmed by the power of these quotes.
Yes, absolutely, it’s what we do for ourselves that matters.
