Living in The New Era

“The only dream worth having 

is to dream that you will live while you are alive,

and die only when you are dead. 

To love, to be loved. 

To never forget your own insignificance. 

To never get used to the unspeakable violence 

and vulgar disparity of the life around you. 

To seek joy in the saddest places. 

To pursue beauty to its lair. 

To never simplify what is complicated 

or complicate what is simple. 

To respect strength, never power. 

Above all to watch. 

To try and understand. 

To never look away. 

And never, never to forget.”
― Arundhati Roy
