I love this. And you’re right - we shouldn’t owe anyone anything. I believe that collectivism with the philosophies of altruism and appeasement have driven a lot of the problems we see today, including the masses response to covid. People have been made to feel that they must sacrifice themselves in order to have value.

Thank you Hannah. The “be kind” people-pleasing culture disrespects the concept that we are already kind. We should not have to strive to “be” - to take instruction. Love is already present in us and just needs the right conditions to blossom. If we concentrate on getting the conditions right, flowers will always bloom.

Love it. Not just the metaphor for personal growth, but the way it builds so deftly from melancholy reflection to a clarion call to bewitch and enchant.
