1. There is no such thing as a person whose real self you like every particle of. This is why a world of liking is ultimately a lie. But there is such a thing as a person whose real self you love every particle of. And this is why love is such an existential threat to the techno-consumerist order: it exposes the lie.

    - Jonathan Franzen from the New York Times article, “Liking is for cowards. Go for what hurts.”

    This is a wonderful article. And exactly what I needed to read today. (via sniffyjenkins)
