“The chief beauty about time is that you cannot waste it in advance. The next year, the next day, the next hour are lying ready for you, as perfect, as unspoiled, as if you had never wasted or misapplied a single moment in all your life. You can turn over a new leaf every hour if you choose.”

~Arnold Bennett.

just some thoughts but “fiction affects reality” and “fiction isn’t reality” are ideas that really really can and should coexist

Hating russian government and the ideologies they promote CANNOT justify indiscriminately hating all russian people or any other eastern europeans. It should never be used as an excuse to disrespect and supress their culture. No nation is uniformly evil. Russians are the ones who suffer the most as a result of their oppressive leaders’ policies - and they had for a very long time now.
