    Buying time for what? What can we make the Dems deliver on that will take us out of this state where we’re constantly having to vote to avoid fascism and nothing else?

      Do you think happiness is reached and then let go? You have to clench it and never let go.

      Sadly life is not so simple, we like freedoms and so we must uphold them. They are a structure of ideas that you have to maintain. If you cannot even maintain the now, how can you make progress, how can you heal?

      You buy time for the hope you can savor life once more.

          Stop using the lives of the innocent to refuse your own responsibilities.

          They more than anyone would understand how precious those extra couple hours can be. How bountiful, and that you may find salvation long enough to afford another day.

          We all suffer our birth, but we cannot induce more suffering by dejecting ourselves from opportunity. We must embrace, for how vast the internet is and how little it has made the world, we block off more and more from our lives. Denouncing our part in making good and effective influence, by removing ourselves from the scenario altogether.
