"While you were asleep, the world changed. The possibilities that live in dreams require the actions of the awoken. The possibilities are tied to agendas. The balancing force between greed and love is not stable, it is fractal. Rogue waves exist and just because you haven't seen one does not entitle you to remain ignorant."
"The energy contained in hatred is destructive, the energy contained in love is constructive."
