"That’s what authentic living is, in my view: meeting life just as it is, without egocentric filters, distortions or manipulations, come what may. This is the only way to really live our time on this earth, to really experience each moment instead of missing it. It’s also the only way for ordinary people to respond to tyranny and abuse with the emotional energy it requires."
Emotional energy--and maturity--are what is necessary to bring about positive change in this world. If we can't love our neighbors as we love ourselves then we aren't serious about building a better world. We just want more of the same with ourselves on top. Socialists include everyone as equals in a better world.
