“Hatred has to be learned, Golden says: ‘We are all born with the capacity for aggression as well as compassion. Which tendencies we embrace requires mindful choice by individuals, families, communities and our culture in general. The key to overcoming hate is education: at home, in schools, and in the community.’ According to Dutchevici, facing the fear of being vulnerable and utterly human is what allows us to connect, to feel, and ultimately, to love. She suggests creating ‘cracks in the system.’ These cracks can be as simple as connecting to your neighbor, talking with a friend, starting a protest, or even going to therapy and connecting with an ‘Other.’ It is through these acts that one can understand hate and love.”

“The hardest part about my work is the fact that most people don’t want a real relationship with God. Yeah sure, they’ll pray to a man nailed to a cross, but they’ll ignore the gay kid who gets strung up, or the black man who gets dragged behind a car, or someone’s mother living in a box.”

“On 14 May 2024, Bung died at Thammasat University Hospital from sudden cardiac arrest, after being transferred from the Central Women’s Correctional Institution of the Department of Corrections. The total duration of Bung’s temporary detention, from the start of her hunger strike protest to the day of her death, was 109 days. However, the cause of her death remains a mystery, whether she really died from sudden cardiac arrest or due to a lack of timely medical treatment, since Thammasat University Hospital told her lawyer that the hospital found that the medical treatment from the Department of Corrections was done incorrectly.”

“I didn’t return to Apple to make a fortune. I’ve been very lucky in my life and already have one. When I was 25, my net worth was $100 million or so. I decided then that I wasn’t going to let it ruin my life. There’s no way you could ever spend it all, and I don’t view wealth as something that validates my intelligence.”
