“What the herd hates most is the one who thinks differently; it is not so much the opinion itself, but the audacity of wanting to think for themselves, something that they do not know how to do.” -Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)
Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage. ----smashing pumpkins
I watched Napoleon tonight, starring Joaquin Phoenix......I loved his line when ending his marriage to his beloved, Josephine, in order to bring an heir into the world. It may qualify for a Quote of the Day
"My Destiny is more powerful than my Will"
There is only one way to know in which direction to go.
You have to follow your fear.
It will show you the way.
Running away from what scares you is a way to lose your way: by doing so you get further and further away from what you are looking for.
If you are afraid to face that person or situation, there is the knot that must be melted.
That knot that if it is recognized and confronted will give you the keys to freedom!
From now on, then when you feel fear, annoyance, irritation and worry, don't run away. Keep listening to what you feel.
And with courage, enter to discover the treasure hidden in your discomfort.
′′ The most precious treasures are guarded by the most terrible dragon.
To get to the treasures, you have to go to the dragon... and kiss it."
“I'm not asking you to kiss me or to apologize when I think you're wrong. I won’t ask you to hug me when I need it most, or to tell me I'm beautiful, even if it's a lie. I won’t ask you to write me sweet words, call me to share how your day went, or tell me you miss me. I won’t ask you to appreciate what I do for you, to care for me when my soul is weary, or to support my decisions. I won’t even ask you to listen when I have a thousand stories to share. I won’t ask you for anything—not even to stay by my side forever. Because if I have to ask, I don’t want it anymore."
