-As is natural for beings, I wish to be in a healthy, loving relationship and not alone. That is okay to acknowledge and does not make me weak.
-As is natural for beings, it is okay to desire having many, meaningful friendships and good familial relationships, even if I do not. That is okay to acknowledge and does not make me weak.
-I wish to be freed of my attachment to material things, but it is naturally hard on this material plane. That is okay to acknowledge and does not make me weak.
-I am becoming more aware of my power to manifest physical reality while becoming more aware of my physical embodiment's nothingness, and that the power is shared equally by all but usable only in proportion to realization of your physical embodiment's nothingness.
-I know my perspective on living is right, but I also know the proper course of action is to proselytize with love, not condemn with contempt.
-There is nothing that can make me better than someone else, even acquiring knowledge, wisdom, virtue despite such being the fundamental occupation of higher beings (power and wealth for lesser beings), because we are all one entity. Only in lifting others can one lift oneself.
-No beings grouped by a trait should ever be denigrated. No beings grouped by a trait should ever be celebrated. These are equal evils.

I’m not gonna lie. Things are bad right now. We’re disconnected from one another and it has fostered a hyper-individualism that borders on solipsism.
Ignorance, greed, and aggression are in good supply but they are also not new. There have always been people who’ve caused harm, but don’t let those people be the only ones who capture your attention and imagination.
There are people taking action every day in both big and small ways. There are people protesting, and fighting legal battles, and driving people to get safe abortions. And there are people who show tenderness to their children when they received none; people who check in on their elderly neighbor; people who give water, food, or money to an unhoused neighbor in need.
There is kindness all around us and it’s happening all the time. Don’t lose sight of it and, most importantly, don’t lose hope. Another world is possible.
