Some people won't change. Some people are doomed to the life they were given. It's not their fault, but it is their responsibility, and if they want to be free, they will respect the rights of others. These rights we claim for each other are rights that must be taken away from those who would use them to harm others. To defeat evil, deprive power, supply kindness, in that order. No-one is beyond saving, but it is their choice to make. A choice ungiven is a chance untaken. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────┘ --- #8 fediverse/5188 --- ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────── did you know that kids these days don't know how to do thing?
