Reality Intolerant

Violet is an actor. She has studied law but never practiced. She loves acting, reading, writing, swimming and walking. She writes under a pen name. Her dream is a world that makes some sense; just a little bit, not too much.

Violet and Lisa created "Life In Letters" because they believe in progressive values and in a world where we understand rather than misunderstand each other. Where we can disagree without hating each other. Where we love rather than hate, not because all people always deserve our love, but because feeling love is invigorating and feeling hate is toxic. Where at least we know what it is we love or hate, because more than often we don't. Where science isn't poisoned by politics, faith, greed. Where information isn't lost in or entirely replaced by misinformation. Where the best we can have is Democracy, not just the illusion of Democracy. Where being different is being respected and celebrated rather than attacked and ridiculed. Where we all realize that our planet and everything living on it are one single organism. Where the solution to a problem – pollution, floods, fires, corruption, injustice, exploitation, unaffordable housing, unaffordable healthcare, limited or no access to basic needs, attack on civil rights, attack on privacy – is not to "learn to live with it", but to do something about it. We believe that caring for others and for the planet is being intelligently selfish. Love is creative, hate is destructive. Love is life, hate is death.
