✦ MADE SIMPLE

All that violence you brought to Lebanon? All those animals you destroyed and terrorized? It's coming back to you. Every drop of blood you spilled, every bit of violence you brought to the land and cities and people — it's all going to catch up with you.

The violence you put out into the world has a way of finding its way back to you.
