A friend whose company I've grown tired of

It gets exhausting, so tiring, to hate everyone around you. So much energy sapped just from immediately disliking someone for the smallest thing. Too much for too long.
Strive to be better everyday. Learn a little everyday. Make the world a better place even just for a moment. Life is a miserable heap but it can also be what we make of it. Maybe not for long but a few seconds of peace in a storm, for you or a stranger, can often be worth more than anything money could have to offer.
Be kind to one another. Peace and long life đź––
I think a lot of atrocities come from our need to be accepted by the people around us. Especially with fascists, whose group identity is based around excluding and hurting the outgroup, they're stuck in a constant cycle of egging eachother on. One fascist says "lets beat up a black guy", the others nod, and the person who feels most vulnerable to getting kicked out of the group tries to prove he belongs by saying "Nah, let's KILL a black guy" repeat ad nauseam.
