Martyr!
Kaveh Akbar
“8 of the 10 Commandments are about what thou shalt not. But you can live a whole life not doing any of that stuff and still avoid doing any good. That’s the whole crisis. The rot at the root of everything. The belief that goodness is built on a constructed absence, not-doing. That belief corrupts everything, has everyone with any power sitting on their hands. A rich man goes a whole day without killing a single homeless person and so goes to sleep content in his goodness.”
Wowowow that just changed my brain chemistry.
“I want to be the chisel, not the David. What can I make of being here? And what can I make of not?”
