The wanting…

"Brutal physical desire is easy. But desire, along with tenderness, takes time. You have to cross the whole land of love before you find the flame of desire. Is that why it's always so hard to desire what you love?"

Absurd (1981)

This marvelous love that you have given birth to in me divides me unceasingly between two contrary impulses which drive me in turn. On the one hand, the terrible and growing need that I have of you pushes me continuously to demand everything of you and every day more. On the other hand, I recognize that your happiness, your own esteem, a certain peace that you will never be able to find again if you act according to my worst selfishness, have become much more dear to me than my most desired wishes.

Maria Casarès to Albert Camus, Correspondance, February 15, 1950 [#195]

Absurd (1981)

trying to teach a swan some math, I think it's going well so far

Sadly I can check off alot of items from this list. Time and self education are the only things that will help reclaim life back once you lose yourself with emotional abuse.

going actually crazy today sorry

When youtube tries to make me watch an ad I simply block, dodge and parry them with my superior reflexes. Every assassin Google.com has sent to my apartment has come back either dead or seduced. I sneak up on unsuspecting bots in the night and slit their digital throats so I can steal any loose upvotes and premium subscriptions in their pockets. X.com is still twitter when I look at it and I can still sneak into the ruins of Vine. You just aren't as skilled and powerful as me. I don't need to pirate media when I can gain it through highway robbery.

These kinds of comments really bug me because it's so clear how confused the person who wrote them is.

So let me clear this up for you, @nagashii

Israel has not stolen Palestinian culture. Of all the ridiculous claims you could make, this one is probably the most silly because it's absolutely meaningless. I'd love to hear what cultural things you think we "stole", but I'm just letting you know that whatever you think it is, you're wrong. I'm not gonna bother elaborating

You're making a very important distinction between Jews and Israel, which is great except you screwed it up. You are assuming that the existence of Jews is not dependent on the existence of Israel, while ignoring the fact that the REASON Israel exists is to protect the Jewish people. Even if there's a very Jewish person who has no interest in Israel, Israel has helped them in more ways than you can imagine. Israel gives money and aid to Jewish community and it's also gained the right to prosecute people who commit antisemitic hate crimes in other countries. So you can say that Jews are okay but Israel needs to die, but you're basically saying Jews need to die, which is, obviously, antisemitic and disgusting.

Israel doesn't have genocidal ideals, don't be idiotic. If Israel wanted to commit genocide, believe me, there would be no humanitarian aid, no warnings, no attempts to evacuate gazans. The IDF has absolutely no interest in harming anyone who isn't part of Hamas, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. The fact that Hamas uses its civilians as human shields makes this incredibly hard. I know people who are currently fighting in Gaza. Trust me, killing more people is the last thing they want. Obviously there are some morons who want to kill everyone and take Gaza back, but they're idiots and nobody really gives a shit what they think because they're being childish and narrow. Those few people do not represent Israel.

The Jewish people are absolutely and completely entitled to have a country of their own, and the fact that Israel was the land chosen has not only Historical and Traditional but also Legal reasons. I'll reblog this with links to useful explanations. As I said, Israel is essential to the continued existence of the Jewish people which means that yes, we are entitled to it. Absolutely. Whether or not all the actions of the Israeli government are okay is a completely different story. The botton line is that Israel must and will continue to exist.

Hope this helps.
