Life Doesn’t Care What We Want

Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.
( Dr Seuss )

For peace in the world.
If we put other people first all the time, then, as long as they do the same for us, it’s simple.

The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way.
Greed has poisoned men’s souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed.
To those who can hear me, I say, do not despair.
The misery that is now upon us is the passing of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress.
The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people.
And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.
( Charles Chaplin )

Some people bring some magic into my life.
By disappearing.

Pretend like you trust.
But don’t trust anyone, ever.
They may be an idiot.

We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.
( Kurt Vonnegut )

The love of freedom is the love of others.
The love of power is the love of ourselves.

Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.
( Dr Seuss )

I don’t like lifestyles when groups of people give themselves a label.
Labels of superiority, religious or otherwise, claiming they know everything, and declaring others are wrong or stupid.
This causes strife.
We can discuss, or even argue, without giving ourselves a ‘label’.

I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth but I spat it out.
( Kiera Chaplin )

Thinking what we say is far more important than saying what we think.

The worst memories stick with us, while the nice ones always seem to slip through our fingers.

It may not be much light, but it will always beat the darkness.

The whole purpose of religion is to facilitate love and compassion, patience, tolerance, humility, and forgiveness.
( Dalai Lama )

Make up your mind to be happy.
Learn to find pleasure in simple things.
Make the best of your circumstances.
No one has everything, and everyone has something of sorrow intermingled with the gladness of life.

Life, unfortunately, doesn’t seem to care what we want.
( Richelle Mead )

Every day brings a chance for us to draw in a breath, kick off our shoes, and dance.

Because horror on Earth is real and it is every day.
It is like a flower or like the sun.
It cannot be contained.

It’s good to talk.
But you won’t learn much just listening to yourself.

Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content.

We can’t change the past, but we can ruin a good present by worrying about the future.

Sometimes life is too hard to be alone, and sometimes life is too good to be alone.

Life is not complex.
We are complex.
Life is simple, and the simple thing is the right thing.

Never compare yourself to others.
They are more screwed up than you think.

Youth offers the promise of happiness, but life offers the realities of grief.

It’s very annoying that after an argument is over, you often think about more clever shit you could have said.

All that happens means something.
Nothing you do is ever insignificant.

Those times when you have so many things to do and decide, shit, I’m not going to do anything.

Despite your best efforts, people are going to be hurt when it’s time for them to be hurt.
( Haruki Murakami )

I’m a woman.
I don’t know what I want.
But I can get really mad if I don’t get it.

It’s strange how dreams get under your skin and give your heart a test for what’s real and what’s imaginary.
( Jason Mraz )

You cannot change what you are, only what you do.
( Phillip Pullman )

The world is not a pleasant place to be without someone to hold and be held by.

Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next.

How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.
( Anne Frank )

Sometimes people are beautiful.
Not in looks.
Not in what they say.
Just in what they are.

I know I’m not perfect.
And I don’t live to be.

Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too.
They live inside us, and sometimes, they win.

I’ve got nothing to do today but smile.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives.
Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you.
Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous.
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough.
Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God.
It was never between you and them anyway.
( Mother Teresa )
