i'm not american. the way i see it, it is as if americans are being held against a wall, with an arm at the throat. still, it's beyond possible to be both angry and kind, unless, and maybe that's our collective fault (because thinking and believing are different things at the end of the day), we link kindness to softness. how can anger ever be soft?

nye's verses really spoke to me, thank you for sharing. the other day i found this quote in another newsletter, and it's fitting with your sense of hope and faith i believe: "Whether we like it or not, we are each other’s only hope."

yep! we are each other's only hope. i've been seeing a lot of carl sagan quotes lately and he always emphasises that the vastness of the universe should encourage our love toward each other. regarding anger and softness i think they're both different things that can be interchanged -- you can be softly angry and loudly kind and vice versa, either way its okay and i think feelings should always be recognized as they come. pushing it all down seems to make things worse in my experience hahaha
