The only true enemy all of humanity has ever had in its history and ever will have is hate itself.

@ghostertoasted you core. us core, even

I witnessed something wonderful on my walk today.

We went down to the park, where the lake drains under a footbridge into a stone-lined gully that someone generous might call a creek. Usually it’s a trickle at best, but it poured last night, and the water was still moving pretty briskly. 

As we got closer, I heard kids yelling, so we went over to have a look. I was nervous, because earlier this summer we’d seen a mother cat and her kittens hanging out a few times in the (then bone dry) spillway. We hadn’t seen them in over a month, but I didn’t want to think of them being there when the water started coming down.

Instead, when I looked over the side of the bridge, I saw a skinny kid (maybe 8-10 years old) carrying an enormous catfish clasped in both arms.

The catfish had to be the length of this kid’s torso, and it was flopping around trying to escape, but the kid doggedly kept climbing over mud and slippery rocks until he reached the lake and chucked the fish in. And behind him came… another kid, holding a fish.

When the lake flooded, it must’ve washed a bunch of these catfish downstream, where they collected in pools. Now the water levels are starting to go down, and the fish are trapped, doomed to dry up and die. Not on these kids’ watch. As we watched, they rescued four fish, and one of the adults present said there were at least six left. The kids showed no sign of stopping. This is the kind of thing you love as a kid, a life or death mission you can throw your heart and soul into while getting gleefully covered in muck and slime. I was tempted to offer my assistance, but this was their Quest, and I did not want to impose.

When we continued on, the Great Fish Rescue was still going strong. Godspeed, kids. In a time of such great discord and meanspirited behavior, you will live on in my memory as a beacon of goodwill.

based on nothing in particular, if you proudly proclaim yourself as some variety of -phobe or certain -ists, you are automatically in the wrong. idc what reasoning you might have. actively hating any ethnicity, gender, sexuality etc. automatically makes you an asshole.

Choices

Three years ago, I found Mr. Goodwill standing behind a counter in a gas station. He who wears his heart on his sleeve. Always a pleasant disposition. Often, people with razorblade tongues, pufferfish frames, clunky metal feet charge the skittles fort with their battle cries of I-sipped-the-coffee-and-it’s-too-hot-and-it’s-your-fault waiting for Mr. Goodwill to summon his almighty handy-dandy…

Embracing Simplicity: A Life of Curiosity, Kindness, and Joy Without Hate

Living with Curiosity, Kindness, and Joy: My Simple Yet Meaningful Life Goals In a world where goals are often defined by ambition, success, and material gain, I’ve found that my life goals have become much simpler. At this point in my life, my purpose is rooted in staying curious, maintaining kindness, and embracing every moment of existence. I strive to live in a way that makes room for joy,…

I love that so much, it is what I'm trying to do! And no, love is not a popular movement. People are very suspiscious of love as a movement. There are some good reasons for that, but not enough to not try anymore. So, let's all try to be a bit kinder, a bit more compassionate. Not only for others, but for ourselves as well, because it feels nicer inside.
