Hope cannot be said to exist, nor can it be said not to exist. It is just like roads across the earth. For actually the earth has no roads to begin with… but when many people pass one way, a road is made.

“China Road: A Journey into the Future of a Rising Power”
What then is truth? A mobile army of metaphors, metonyms, and anthropomorphisms — in short, a sum of human relations, which have been enhanced, transposed, and embellished poetically and rhetorically, and which after long use seem firm, canonical, and obligatory to a people: truths are illusions about which one has forgotten that is what they are; metaphors which are worn out and without sensuous power; coins which have lost their pictures and now matter only as metal, no longer as coins.
– NietzscheThere are four questions of value in life… What is sacred? Of what is the spirit made? What is worth living for, and what is worth dying for? The answer to each is the same. Only love.

By now you should know everything you say
Can and will be used against you some day
I got the microphone so dont go too far
Cause Im gonna tell the whole world how you really are
Conformity is too often prized as a virtue.

I fully agree with the author’s point. There’s a lot to say for being big and beautiful. The world is not made for one-size-fits all - everyone is beautiful and unique in his or her own way. The same goes for body types. Not everything should be tiny, delicate, and small. Who’s to decide that big, sturdy, and extravagant isn’t worth it too… The world needs to open its eyes, see that women are made in MANY different shapes and sizes, acknowledge it, accept it, and EMBRACE it! <3
Ever wonder what the walking man looks like in Beirut? How about Estonia, Luxembourg, or Nepal? Now you can find out!
The rich: it’s not about getting more stuff. It’s about having the freedom to make almost any decision you want
