Very nice write, and very true.

Ah! Yes indeed! The rights that have been won over years, decades, centuries all handed over on a silver platter...
Yet, isn't that what we have fought for? Now it is up to us to teach the principles of earning, respecting, and cherishing, not to mention protecting what is so freely given now:) Nicely put!

So true, always so true

An interesting and evocative work, something that speaks to me intensely. I am of the firm belief that this generation - my generation I must add with not a small sense of shame - is one which continually disappoints me. To the point where the expectation of apathy, ignorance, anti-intellectualism, and a general rejection of duty is something I expect. Oh how I lament the fall of the latter particularly who can't? 'Duty! Sublime and mighty name that embraces nothing charming or insinuating but requires submission...' Forgive me I did not mean to segue into Kant - when does one ever intend such? Ha! - so I shall move on.

I do not often play around with graphics, having no talent for it, but I can nevertheless appreciate it. Here it is used well, nothing is overdone, no superfluous GIFs or animations, the words and the ideas are boldly stated - standing starkly against a black background, as they do indeed in reality, for our ideals are always clear but our commitment is always lacking.

Bravo!

Regards,
A.E.

You have said so much in such a few words . To be born blessed and to abuse that blessing is a waste.

My grammar is okay, it's my spilling that needs work, I can't spill to save my loaf. I have to use the spill chalk on my commuter…

privlages spelled wrong maybe you're making a statement, like i am privileged therefore i can spell it any way i want or maybe you're making a comment on how daft the average graduating senior is or maybe you don't know you spelled it wrong what's the massage?

truth jam packed into such few words. You don't even need the words in the background, but they are a nice touch. great statement.



i love the font of "employment" for some reason it reminds me of Led Zeppelin(completely irrelevent but still)
