💛 “Gun Violence Comes from Mob Rule, Not Thug Life”

Gun violence and mass casualties are acceptable in the U.S. due to the country’s tolerance of mob rule and the hypocrisy of its disdain for thug life.

"Actual happiness always looks pretty squalid in comparison with the overcompensations for misery. And, of course, stability isn’t nearly so spectacular as instability. And being contented has none of the glamour of a good fight against misfortune, none of the picturesqueness of a struggle with temptation, or a fatal overthrow by passion or doubt. Happiness is never grand.”
