Simone Weil believed that friendship is an act of justice--that rights are bestowed but obligation is inherent. Our obligation to one another and ourselves in in friendship, in justice. How this can feel so true and right and make it match with the world presented to us, with so much cruelty and lack of obligation, care. Thank you for reminding us that we have that inherent will--to care and be cared for. If society is beating it out of us, that is a society I will always rage against.
I’m heartbroken, devastated, worried and angry.
