Society is a collective entity yet to become self aware.

In the beginning, the world was but a blank canvas, a fresh landscape for gods to shape as they saw fit.  After they added life and other final touches to their work, they decided to strip themselves of their power, join their creation as mortals, so that their emotions and imperfections do not allow them to destroy what they so cherished, perhaps as they once did in another time.  What they did not realize, however, was that the capacity for their destructive nature came not from their omnipotence but from their ability to reason.  Thus even without their power, the destruction they feared for their creation came to be nonetheless, only this time they would not remember it.

You may feel like you want nothing from the world... but then you realize what you actually want is just unattainable.

Sometimes you wish you didn't have to grow up.  But you do want to grow up.  You just don't want to become a different person.

Meaning is nothing without effect.

Work like a machine, yet have no confidence. What good is that?

So many things left unsaid... so many things written but left unread.

Some watch the clouds and say they're beautiful.
Others stick their heads in and can't see a thing.

Stop saying 'we' and say 'I'.  Speak for yourself before you speak for others.

     What do you think of when you hear the word butterfly? Something beautiful right? A fantastical creature, colorful, magnificent... Why? Have you ever seen a butterfly? It is freakishly ugly! In fact, it's terrifying! It's like an ant with leaves attached!

     And even the leaves attached to it can sometimes be frightening.  Some butterflies camouflage themselves to look like dark, soulless eyes staring right back at you.  How is that beautiful?

     Then let's not also forget how butterflies first start out when they're born.  Let's start with some perspective - most things when first born are ... eh... *socially perceived* as cute and cuddly.  Think of kittens, puppies, and even chickens.  Now think of baby butterflies.  They're not tiny butterflies with a bit of cuteness attached.  They're practically worms with legs.

Greed is not evil.  The evil are just often greedy.

I woke in my dream and was surprised I could fly.
I woke up this morning and wondered why I couldn't.

Just things on the internet worth seeing over time if you haven't seen them already.  Some are old, some are new, ... Feel free to send me more links to add!
