Never Heal

 

I bled into my relationships with family and friends and even those I almost got romantically involved with...whenever I got too close with anyone I would cut them off...part of that was vindictive and partially based on fear but it also was totally subconcious.

The winter of our discontent

 

"The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed - the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty never perish. SOLDIERS! Don't give yourselves to brutes - men who despise you, enslave you, who regiment your lives, tell you what to do, what to think and what to feel! Who drill you - diet you - treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder. Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men - machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men!"

Regrettably Chaplin's words are as relevant today as they were in 1940.
