"I just want it to be easier for everybody to be okay"

My friend said this to me offhandedly. She didn't realize how profound and beautiful it was at the time until I repeated it back to her. To her, it seemed like common sense (perhaps given her cultural background) but to me as an American living in a collapsing empire, I was stunned by the profundity of it.

My hope with WeWrite is that beautiful quips like this can live on forever, to be cherished either in private or public. Not to chase vanity metrics, but rather to be integrated into the broader constellation of human knowledge.

You might ask, "doesn't adding donations to a meaningful bit of writing take away from it beauty?" "it's like prostitution" you might say.

I say the beautiful writers shouldn't be stuck in at a dead-end 9-5. They should be rewarded for their genius. And they shouldn't have to sell out to a corporate machine, either. Own your writings.

And as it relates to the specific quote, WeWrite could help communities and neighborhoods to self-organize on the basis of solidarity and collective defense, especially in hard times. Really getting people on the same page.
