quotes'O mania!

Few quotes from one of the books - worth reading!!

"The past reflects eternally between two mirrors:The bright mirror of words and deeds,and the dark one,full of things we did'nt do or say!"

"The truth is a bully we all pretend to like !"

"Fact about Love:Your heart starts to feel like a overcrowded lifeboat,you throw your pride out to keep it afloat,and your self-respect and your independence!"

"Sometimes,even with the purest intentions, we make things go worse when we do our best to make things better!"



"There's a truth that's deeper than experience.It's beyond what we see, or even what we feel.It's in an order of truth that seperates the profound from the merely clever, and the reality from the perception. We're helpless, usually, in the face of it; and the cost of knowing it, like the cost of knowing love, is sometimes greater than any heart would willingly pay.It doese'nt always help us to love the world.But it does prevent us from hating the world!"

"The facts of life are very simple- in the beginning we feared everything- animals,the weather,the trees, the night sky- everything except each other. Now we fear each other and almost nothing else.No one knows why anyone does anything.No one tells the truth.No one is happy. No one is safe.In the face of all that is so wrong with the world,the very worst thing you can do is SURVIVE.And yet you must survive.It is this dilemma that makes us believe and cling to the lie that we have a soul, and that there is a god who cares about its fate!"

Kiss Of Individuality!!!

Hey!!!
I lately read few articles about individuality and integrity.It made me feel as though it has relevance with each one of us.So,made an attempt to combine and condense all that i read.It surely makes us walk in the shoes of unknown,yet representing so much so of ourselves.
here it goes.............

"HIS SOUL WAS LIKE A STAR AND DWELT APART"
On every hand are the enemies of individuality and mental freedom. Custom meets us at the cradle and leaves us only at the tomb. Our first questions are answered by ignorance, and our last by superstition. We are pushed and dragged by countless hands along the beaten track, and our entire training can be summed up in the word -- suppression. Our desire to have a thing, or to do a thing, is considered as conclusive evidence that we ought not to have it, and ought not to do it. At every turn we run against a flaming sword guarding some entrance to the Eden of our desire. We are allowed to investigate all subjects in which we feel no particular interest, and to express the opinions of the majority with the utmost freedom. We are taught that liberty of speech should never be carried to the extent of contradicting the dead witnesses of a popular superstition. Life is like a big swing, dangling between the depths of happiness and sadness. As soon as we descend down the slope of sadness, we accelerate over the ever-feel-good acclivity of happiness. At times of distress, when we are down we slip over an abyss of emotional trauma and frustrations. One who can rise above the occasion, is the architect of many wins over sorrows.

QUOTES:-

Speaking your truth, even though it might create conflict or tension.

Humdrum!!!

hey!!!

~~"Sorrow comes to all...Perfect relief is not possible, except with time. You cannot now realize that you will ever feel better and yet you are sure to be happy again.”~~

~~“For fast acting relief, try slowing down”~~

Yeah......a moment of introspection give answers to so many unanswered,confusing questions!!...we so dont want to come out of our complacent,monotonous,hideous,confined comfort zone that we deliberately avoid conversing with ourselves with the fear of something getting disturbed and falling out of place.we are so scared to realise the fact about the heart and brain working out of sync,that we keep ourselves occupied in all possible ways to avoid the unavoidable...but in vain...all said and done...all of us got to face the music of life...though its lyrics has gone haywire and messed up!!

~~"Reality is the name we give to our disappointments" ~~

~~"Reality is a question of perspective; the further you get from the past, the more concrete and plausible it seems -- but as you approach the present, it inevitably seems incredible"~~
