When you were born everything was already here and they said, “this is the way things are.”
When you saw things were broken and harming 80% of everybody, they said, “This is the way things are. There is nothing else.”
Then you studied history and you saw that things used to be completely different than they are now and you said “This means things could be different than they are now!”
And they said “This is the way things are. History is dead. And if you try to change it, we’ll fucking murder you.”
So a deep anger hardened in your chest and you called it Resolve. And you began to meet other people who felt the same. And together you made plans for something better.

Like the idea of Resolve coming from a desire for change rather than complacency or immutability.
