QUOTES ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS

Before his death in 2016, Hazelwood spoke about Keyes. Hazelwood's decades of service had left him with a cynical view of the FBI's truthfulness in general, and he believed stranger abductions are far more common then the Bureau insists. He was convinced that the proliferation of hard-core pornography, so easily and anonymously accessible online, has contributed to increasingly sadistic crimes and murders. He believed that technology, the mainstreaming of violent pornography, advances in ever-faster travel, and an overall culture of misogyny, from politics to entertainment, would only contribute to breed more aberrant and dangerous criminals. He made this prediction in 2001. [!!]

He was beginning to wonder whether the jigsaw was the correct metaphor for relationships between men and women after all. It didn't take into account of the sheer stubbornness of human beings, their determination to affix themselves to another even if they didn't fit.

I don’t understand how some people take pride in being rude. It’s like they think harsh words or cold behavior make them look strong and unbreakable, but in reality, it shows how small their heart are. You know, softness doesn’t make a person weak; it shows strength. Being rude might get attention for a moment, but it leaves emptiness behind. I have realized that respect and gentle words build bridges, while rudeness only burns them.

If you continue to exhibit many behaviors that are burdensome to people, you can also prompt them to see you as a taker who is only in it for themselves. This may cause them to treat you as a liability that worsens their problems, and you may even become increasingly isolated and devoid of health.

By not conveying what needs to be conveyed to maintain some short-term harmony, you can also prevent others from making decisions that are informed and mature. This may cause many problems to remain unsolved or deteriorate, and you may even lose people’s trust and become less well-regarded by others.
