#love #books #literature 🧡💜❤️💜🧡❤️💜💜🧡💜❤️💜 From „Zeit der Monste by Şeyda Kurt (my translation): “To love someone as if you already knew all their secrets, while at the same time being willing to accept that there will always be something about them that remains unknowable.” One of the most beautiful thoughts on love I’ve read in a long time.

so true

Even God wouldn't believe the story of sending Himself to sacrifice Himself to Himself to save us from Himself.🤣😂

#religion #africa #women As an African woman, I have no reason to believe that I came from two Europeans in a garden with European names. Adam and Eve. White. Blonde. Blue-eyed. There's no Mpeshe in the Bible. The story does not even try to explain how they gave birth to Africans, Asians, Indians, and all the other races on earth. It just assumes you will swallow it. And generations have. Half of Europe does not even like Africans. They do not want us in their countries. They do not want us in their schools. They draw borders to keep us out. They build walls to keep us away. And then they expect us to believe that we all came from the same white parents in the same white garden. That is not history. That is mockery. The book also says Cain found a wife in another city. But at that time, the earth only had four people. Adam. Eve. Cain. Abel. Then Abel died. So where did the wife come from? Who was in that city? The book does not say. It just drops it in and moves on and we are expected to believe the absurdity without thinking. So no. I do not believe I came from two white people in a garden. I believe I came from Africa. From the soil. From the sun. From a long line of women who gave birth before the Bible was ever written. And I do not need a book written by humans to tell me where I came from.

#philosophy #politics For me, there is no gray area between these two statements. I completely agree with Hannah Arendt. Empathy is not a weakness but a strength. A society loses its humanity not because there is too much compassion, but because there is too little of it.
