Quote by Harry Browne

Like many people, most Libertarians feel empathy and sympathy for less fortunate people. But they know you can't have perfection in a world of limited resources.

Like many people, most Libertarians feel empathy and sympath

Summary

This quote reflects the perspective of Libertarians who believe in limited government intervention and emphasize individual liberty. It acknowledges that while Libertarians do have empathy and sympathy for those who are less fortunate, they recognize the practical constraints of living in a world with limited resources. In other words, they understand that achieving perfection in the distribution of resources and outcomes may not be possible without compromising individual freedoms. This belief guides their approach to welfare and social policies, advocating for a more limited role of government in addressing societal issues.

Love, I thought to myself abstractedly. Not 'This is love' or 'Is this love?' Not a sentence, not a certainty, not a thought with moving parts or direction. Just love, all of it, as it is. Whether it's enough or not. Wthether it's real or we're making it up. However shoddy it gets, or bent out of shape. It's still extraordinary. However foolish, however vain. However badly it ends. Love.
