I wish I could pass my wisdom to others. Some people really need my ego-death experience.

I'm going to make the hop over to Todon.EU today, or maybe tomorrow depending how things go.
I'm a straight white cis-male, an anti-racist, an anti-theist, and a trans-inclusive feminist (nothing 'radical' about that)
"Our integrity sells for so little, but it is all we really have. It is the very last inch of us, but within that inch, we are free."
...
"I remember how different became dangerous. I still don't understand it, why they hate us so much."
...
"I shall die here. Every inch of me shall perish. Every inch, but one. An Inch, it is small and it is fragile, but it is the only thing the world worth having. We must never lose it or give it away. We must never let them take it from us." -- Valerie

"They put you in a cell and took everything they could take except your life. And you believed that was all there was, didn't you? The only thing you had left was your life, but it wasn't, was it?"
"You found something else. In that cell you found something that mattered more to you than life. It was when they threatened to kill you unless you gave them what they wanted... you told them you'd rather die. You faced your death, Evey. You were calm. You were still." -- V
"If a sword can protect the weak .. where were you to protect ME?" -- Seta Sōjirō
"This one tries very hard to remember, but .. he cannot recall the "back then" that you refer to. If it's not too late .. can there be another chance?" -- Kenshin
"To fix a building that was built wrong, first you have to tear it all down.." -- Sōjirō, in defeat.
"The truth must be found not through battles, but over a lifetime .. as one makes amends for the crimes one has committed." -- Himura Kenshin
You need the will to LIVE.
Even if you protect the weak and the ones you love by sacrificing yourself with the compassion of the Buddha himself .. sorrow will remain in those people. They will never be truly happy.
Even if you quell danger with your fierce anger, sacrificing your life .. it is only for one short moment in time. And time goes on.
