Via Jessica Kruse:

“We are earning our living, which I think is one of the most obscene phrases in our culture. To earn a living… this isn’t a given?”

— Francis Weller

The rest of the quote is disempowering. I deleted it. Here is what I would add instead:

“Instead of directing our agonies at each other and false activism… we can turn this grief into intelligence, empowerment and healing. The moment we step away from the machine, toward nature, intelligence, the history and future of life on earth… and, not very surprisingly… ourselves and each other. You have some other idea? Chances are… you have been converted to an enemy asset. And chances are, you cannot be made aware of this.”
