People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Nobody likes to throw stuff away. It's just antithetical to our sense of being a person. But we're all habituated to that way of living today.
No matter what happens in life, be good to people. Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind.
The process of reclaiming the self is one of reconciliation with meaning.
We live in a disposable society. We throw so much away. But it doesn't come from nowhere. It comes from the planet and it comes from future generations' lives.
When everything in a person's life is gone, ripped-out gone, it's not that you stay empty for so long, so you replace it with something else very quickly.
The world is put back by the death of every one who has to sacrifice the development of his or her peculiar gifts to conventionality.
But there will come a time and a place to give back, and each individual will recognize that time and place.
Redemption is possible, and it is the measure of a civilized society.
Life is short, and, once somebody is gone, they're gone.
Humanity may endure the loss of everything; all its possessions may be turned away without infringing its true dignity - all but the possibility of improvement.
