“Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up save in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless- it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.”

—C.S. Lewis (via scout) (via afemme) (via hipsterdiet)

yen for lyrical Africa’s grand recordings of fresher fascinating first-thought choices, tremendous
tone-poems n’ that new trombone jazz
imposing slang’s liberation of everything ever unnoticed…

This is a nice thought, but it isn’t realistic. People shop at places like Walmart out of necessity, not because they like it. If you ask anyone why they shop at Walmart, the typical answer will be “because of the low prices.” If a single parent is presented with 2 identical packs of toilet paper, one selling for $2.99 and the other for $5, it doesn’t really matter which store is offering it…

…I think it’s inappropriate to expect people to change their shopping habits if it means a lower quality of life for them.

I agree with this completely. ‘Luxuries’ like Starbucks excluded, places like Walmart help out people who need that help. People are people and they’re just trying to get by… no need to make them feel guilty about it. Thanks karmcity.
