“Haven’t you considered that maybe the things you’ve been searching for are not lost, but that they have evolved into something else?”

“The problem here wasn’t the internet, even though that’s how the news spread, nor was it the websites that were used, but the stupidity of the human mind. In seeking the truth, we choose to believe unreliable sources, and we spread these untruths in the name of ‘sharing,’ creating a disaster that’s hard to undo.”
― Chan Ho-Kei, Second Sister

“The word he hated most in the world was “justice.” Which wasn’t to say he didn’t know the difference between good and evil—but he understood that rather than simplistic morality, most conflict in the world arose from differences of opinion, with both sides raising the flag of justice and claiming to be on the side of reason. This allowed them to justify the most underhanded means as “a necessary evil” to defeat the other side—the law of the jungle, essentially. N had a deep understanding of this. He had money, status, power, and talent, so he could do pretty much whatever he wanted and other people would see him as an avatar of “justice”—but he knew that keeping others down in the name of justice is another form of bullying.”

“Earning money was a means to an end: to support the household and let her family live happily. But capitalist society lulls us into believing our wages are a goal in themselves, turning us into slaves of money. We forget that as crucial as money may be, there are even more important things that we can’t afford to lose.”
