“‪Everybody acts out a myth,‬ ‪but very few people know what their myth is.‬

‪And you should know what your myth is,‬ because it might be a tragedy.‬

‪And maybe you don’t want it to be.‬”

“You are not committed to something unless you’re willing to sacrifice for it; commitment and sacrifice are the same thing.”

Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.

Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little.

Manners Maketh Man

“Manners are of more importance than laws. Upon them, in a great measure, the laws depend.” — Edmund Burke

[eternotolo]

Sometimes people walk away from love because it is so beautiful that it terrifies them. Sometimes they leave because the connection shines a bright light on their dark places and they are not ready to work them through. Sometimes they run away because they are not developmentally prepared to merge with another- they have more individuation work to do first. Sometimes they take off because love is not a priority in their lives- they have another path and purpose to walk first. Sometimes they end it because they prefer a relationship that is more practical than conscious, one that does not threaten the ways that they organize reality. Because so many of us carry shame, we have a tendency to personalize love’s leavings, triggered by the rejection and feelings of abandonment. But this is not always true. Sometimes it has nothing to do with us. Sometimes the one who leaves is just not ready to hold it safe. Sometimes they know something we don’t – they know their limits at that moment in time. Real love is no easy path – readiness is everything. May we grieve loss without personalizing it. May we learn to love ourselves in the absence of the lover.

He was lost. She thought she could help him find himself, but it turns out she couldn’t. So he left, only for her to realize that trying to find him, she lost herself.

Arguing guilt by association is usually deployed when there are no actual facts to bring to bear. The idea that you can attack an ideology not on its merits but rather on the people who adhere to it is idiotic.

A falta de liberdade não consiste jamais em estar segregado, e sim em estar em promiscuidade, pois o suplício inenarrável é não se poder estar sozinho.

Fiódor Dostoiévski

Home is not where you live but where they understand you.
