Forgiveness is created by the restitution of the abuser; of the wrongdoer. It is not something to be squeeeeeezed out of the victim in a further act of conscience-corrupting abuse.
Successful relationships are those relationships were conflicts are successfully resolved and in fact peoples intimacy, closeness, and love are enhanced through the resolution of conflicts. I have always become closer to my wife and to my friends when we have conflicts and work through them successfully because conflicts will always arise. They are an opportunity for intimacy, self-knowledge, and a greater connection.
The three most important words in a relationship are not, 'I love you,' but, 'Tell me more.
I don't think it is a good mental health practice to fantasize that you know the infinite thoughts of imaginary entities.
If the sound of happy children is grating on your ears, I don't think it's the children who need to be adjusted.
The world, viewed philosophically, remains a series of slave camps, where citizens – tax livestock – labor under the chains of illusion in the service of their masters.
You cannot connect with anyone except through reality.
There is no key to open the heart of another - except curiosity.
To be yourself is in many ways to be inconvenient to others. Only placaters and appeasers get along with other people all the time and that's not really getting along with anyone. That's just self erasure.
Excessive praise arises from the same bigotry matrix as excessive criticism.
When people have invested their identities into clichés, the only counter argument they have is 'being offended'.
Sanity is not about confrontation. It's about filtering. Having a stable and happy life is about saying "no" to crazy people, not about inviting them in and then hoping that confrontations are going to make them sane.
Those who make conversations impossible, make escalation inevitable.
The greater the gap between self perception and reality, the more aggression is unleashed on those who point out the discrepancy.
