Nothing Beside Remains

it’s kind of like complaining about having homework in college or being busy at work. theoretically you could choose to not go to college or to not work … it would just make your life more difficult. also, jesus, at least you’re lucky enough to go to college or have a job. (btw i know that i’m totally guilty of complaining about this but right now i’m just having a perspective moment so, yeah)

also i’m currently editing an article that is talking about how hockey players “willingly endure” pain and how that makes them tough and therefore admirable. no, it makes you an idiot.

‎”When Americans talk about folks like me paying my fair share of taxes, it’s not because they envy the rich. It’s because they understand that when I get tax breaks I don’t need and the country can’t afford, it either adds to the deficit, or somebody else has to make up the difference - like a senior on a fixed income; or a student trying to get through school; or a family trying to make ends meet. That’s not right. Americans know it’s not right. They know that this generation’s success is only possible because past generations felt a responsibility to each other, and to their country’s future, and they know our way of life will only endure if we feel that same sense of shared responsibility.” — President Barack Obama.
