The book I finished last night has this sentence I really liked near the end: "We're spending the rest of our lives together, so we have to be really gentle." Like, here we are with just the one life and we're spending it with all the people around us. Be kind, be gentle, be compassionate. Don't waste it on hate or violence or destruction.
It's a really beautiful sentiment. If we could somehow just see all of each other as, you know, people and love each other, there wouldn't be so much awfulness to undo. The book was clear this isn't about loving someone who wants to destroy you. It's about how you engage in the peace treaty.
