But some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. ―
Writing for the young at heart, not necessarily the young.
You are a part of a bigger picture. Every decision you make, every choice, affects those around you.
Why I Write
In a world of harsh realities, we need the magic of imagination. Some might call this “escapism,” but I believe fiction can inspire us to see the world in a different light. Perhaps we won’t be the unlikely hero that changes the course of history, but we will affect the lives around us. The question is: will it be for the better?

The idea is people steal out of need. But that’s not always the case, or even usually the case. They steal because they don’t care. I would not be in the least surprised to find that people pirating books are better off financially than many of the authors they pirate from.
Which is more selfish? To work hard to earn money OR steal from those who do, so you don’t have to work hard and earn money?
ALSO, c’mon, ebooks cost like 3.99. If they are stealing digital books, they have a device to read it on, so can’t be that poor. And libraries are free.
I hate to judge a movie I’ve not yet seen. That generally annoys me. But “subversive” and “a modern take” are not descriptors that give me great hope when used to describe a classic.
Isn't that interesting.

really bewildering to me that authors can write fantasy with complex political climates & socioeconomic issues yet their capitalist addled brains can only think of personal financial gains & not the very real education, intellectualism & literacy that piracy upholds.
