silvermoon424: smcempathy: Source [x] Sailor Moon Artbook Vol. 5 I remember reading this years ago and it’s always stuck with me. “To the people of the world, all of them, whether it is the wrong race or the wrong language or the wrong lifestyle, tend to only think about what we cannot share. But our brains are all the same. We are the same people. With everyone’s strength, we can all share the same feelings. That much is obvious. But it won’t come easily.” “We only have one Earth. To be able to feel such joy is true happiness.” Not only is this closing message amazing from the perspective of how wonderful and unifying Sailor Moon and its message are (to the point of Naoko Takeuchi getting fan letters from a tiny island off Madagascar), it really tells a message we all need to hear right now. We only have one planet, one Earth. To be able to live on it and experience life is truly a blessing, the greatest happiness we can know, because life is beautiful. It can be equally cruel and heartbreaking, but the people and things and places we love should always tether us closer to life than what would do us harm. But we should never stop fighting for a better world, one where we can all understand and respect each other. It’s going to take a lot of work and tears and blood until that equality is reached, but I’m an optimist. I believe we can do it, or at least create a world where most people get the justice they deserve. -- source link
