Jane Fonda

What is a country? A country is a piece of land surrounded on all sides by boundaries, usually unnatural.

George Orwell

The thing that I find so bad about anger is the desire for payback. Of course, it is very human to wish for revenge. Your mother has died in the hospital, and the first thought a lot of people have is, I'll sue the doctor. You feel helpless, and you think, I'm less helpless if I'm doing something active that makes someone else pay. And social media make it easy to inflict all kinds of pain on other people. But what good does it do?

Martha C. Nussbaum
