The Sea
By EmilyTheKiwi PLATINUM
Flemington, New Jersey

An old friend, the sea, Now like a stranger to me. Its waves, full of spite.

“Picture a wave. In the ocean. You can see it, measure it, its height, the way the sunlight refracts when it passes through. And it's there. And you can see it, you know what it is. It's a wave.<br /> <br /> And then it crashes in the shore and it's gone. But the water is still there. The wave was just a different way for the water to be, for a little while. You know it's one conception of death for Buddhists: the wave returns to the ocean, where it came from and where it's supposed to be."<br /> -The Good Place

The opposite of love is not hate, it`s indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it`s indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it`s indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it`s indifference. -Elie Wiesel.

I haven&#039;t got a car or a house. I&#039;ve got a husband, but I didn&#039;t pay for him! I spend all my money on my glorious husband. He&#039;s here with a knife at my throat! <br /> Mackenzie Crook <br /> reedited by Cheyenne Zukel
