The playing field is not equal so it isn't reasonable to hold people to the same standard of making an impact.

exactly! the one thing we're stuck with is each other. it's all we're guaranteed to have. no one can escape the effects of others anymore.

Remember when you were young?

You shone like the sun

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Shine on, you crazy diamond

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

And the reason people stop shining like the sun is because they're ticking away the moments that make up the dull day. Frittering and wasting the hours in an offhand way. Kicking around on a piece of ground in their hometown. Waiting for someone or something to show them the way.

Help yourself (to a rich person's property)

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 7 points 10 months ago

And no one is helping you... all telling you to pull yourself up by your own bootstraps.
