Meanings


Laughter. Openess. Understanding. 

These all belong to the same word and yet they never seem to happen together.

Lieing. Opression. Undervalued.

These seem to be what take their place.

To love is to laugh.

To love is to be open.

To love is to understand.

People seem to forget this often and tend to replace them with things that don't fit.

To fight is to lie.

To fight is to opress.

To fight is to undervalue.

To make it through life one must love, but that gets harder and harder when all you

ever know is to fight.
