[hellbound]

"He abused me, he beat me, he defeated me, he robbed me,"— in those who harbour such thoughts hatred will never cease. "He abused me, he beat me, he defeated me, he robbed me," — in those who do not harbour such thoughts hatred will cease. For hatred does not cease by hatred at any time: hatred ceases by love, this is an old rule."

I've had a lot of quotes that I live by, but for some reason this one sticks with me:

You see there’s a big difference between a job and a career
Because in the career, no matter how many hours you work
You do it because it’s satisfactory
But in a job you do it for salary
You are stuck in the rat race
And you know being stuck in the rat race is one of the biggest traps
Because as a matter of fact, even if you win the rat race
You are still just a rat.

Suli Breaks, excerpt from "The American't Dream"
