I think baltimore suffers from nostalgia and it keeps us from being honest in talking about what really happened here. a place doesn't have to be perfect to be beloved, and i love this city and i love it better for seeing its flaws.

More From Laura Lippman

Why is it important that you are with god and god alone on the mountain top? it's important because it's the place in which you can listen to the voice of the one who calls you the beloved. to pray is to listen to the one who calls you 'my beloved daughter,' 'my beloved son,' 'my beloved child.' to pray is to let that voice speak to the center of your being, to your guts, and let that voice resound in your whole being.

There are three kinds of love; unselfish, mutual, and selfish. the unselfish love is of the highest kind; the lover only minds the welfare of the beloved and does not care for his own sufferings. in mutual love the lover not only wants the happiness of his beloved; but has an eye towards his own happiness also. it is middling. the selfish love is the lowest. it only looks towards its own happiness, no matter whether the beloved suffers weal or woe.

How could she feel nostalgia when he was right in front of her? how can you suffer from the absence of a person who is present? you can suffer nostalgia in the presence of the beloved if you glimpse a future where the beloved is no more.

The murder clearance rate now in my city baltimore is almost non-existent. nobody can solve a murder, nobody can do any actual police work, because they've learned how to do bad police work, chase drugs. fighting vice, while being unable to respond to sin. generations of cops have learned how not to police work by policing the drug war. not only are they police brutal, they're ineffective. baltimore is more violent than it has ever been in modern history.

I believe nostalgia has many appearances and that it's not just the privilege of adults. i think children too can have nostalgia. it's one of mankind's most shared emotions. it's one of the things that makes us human. when you live, you lose things. it's a fact of life. so it's natural for everyone to have nostalgia.
Children Believe Thinking
The curt truth is that, in a deep secret way, the state of being beloved is intolerable to many. the beloved fears and hates the lover, and with the best of reasons. for the lover is forever trying to strip bare his beloved. the lover craves any possible relation with the beloved, even if this experience can cause him only pain.

Life is pain...anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something
Pain Life Is Selling
Having been through a tremendous amount of emotional pain, to process it properly, to be able to have it make sense and then move it through your body, your mind, your spirit, and be done with it, you really have to address it head-on. being able to really have the courage enough to truly face it, to truly look at it, to truly feel it.
Pain Moving Emotional
We all build internal sea walls to keep at bay the sadnesses of life and the often overwhelming forces within our minds. in whatever way we do this—through love, work, family, faith, friends, denial, alcohol, drugs, or medication—we build these walls, stone by stone, over a lifetime. one of the most difficult problems is to construct these barriers of such a height and strength that one has a true harbor, a sanctuary away from crippling turmoil and pain, but yet low enough, and permeable enough, to let in fresh seawater that will fend off the inevitable inclination toward brackishness.
Wall Pain Sadness
The conventional wisdom is often wrong. crime didn't keep soaring in the 1990s, money alone doesn't win elections, and - surprise - drinking eight glasses of water a day has never actually been shown to do a thing for your health. conventional wisdom is often shoddily formed and devilishly difficult to see through, but it can be done.
