The behavior makes little sense when one tries to understand it according to the current facts. It’s as if some aspect of the present scenario were drawing energy from another source, as if it were unwittingly triggering a pattern of behavior that the other person originally developed long ago in order to meet a particular threat which has now somehow been subconsciously re-evoked. The overreactor is responsible, as the psychological term puts it, for the “transference” of an emotion from the past onto someone in the present—who perhaps doesn’t entirely deserve it. - The Course of love by The School of Life
My sister once said to me , you could never know for sure and be absolutely certain about what's going through someone's mind... it so scary how we live our lives trusting that we somehow understand a person , that their action and words must reflect in some sort of way their thinking process. We as humans carry so much hope. - Bami
Often times in life I have taken people's action to mean something and it has ended in complete contradiction to how they describe the situation through their words. And other times were I thought i completely understood , almost certain that I'm on the same page with this person thats talking to me and their actions couldn't fall any further than my so called accurate prediction. These days I find myself irresponsnsive to an extent to people's actions or words, as I carefully wait for reoccurrences to justify if they really meant what they said or did. In some cases I wait for them to clarify and even justify why they said a certain thing or did something in a particularly way . I am still waiting... , it's so difficult to trust, history always repeats itself. - bamii
The best thing you can possibly do with your life is to tackle the motherfucking shit out of it.”

“Accept that this experience taught you something you didn't want to know. Accept that sorrow and strife are part of even a joyful life. Accept that it's going to take a long time for you to get that monster out of your chest. Accept that someday what pains you now will surely pain you less.”

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
— Max Ehrmann, 1927

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.
