Consciousness is a transformational dynamic force which transforms us by changing our imaginations and perceptions.

When I talk about having no feelings, I mean that a man doesn’t allow likes or dislikes to get in and do him harm. He just lets things be the way they are and doesn’t try to help life along.

Zhuangzi, The Complete Works of Zhuangzi, Watson tr. (Ch 5)

Isn’t it funny that each person you meet will have a different kind of point of view of the type of person you come across as and that will also differ from the way you view yourself

"I can make being weaponless a weapon, but that's not the story in Octavian's head about you. The king could strike you dead at his feet, and still he wouldn't believe you're vulnerable. That is its own weapon. I've been told I'm the type you marry, by many men I wasn't interested in marrying. But the poets don't write about heartless wanton women because they hope never to meet them."

Lia, Long Live Evil by Sarah Rees Brennan

“True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future, not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears but to rest satisfied with what we have, which is sufficient, for he that is so wants nothing. The greatest blessings of mankind are within us and within our reach. A wise man is content with his lot, whatever it may be, without wishing for what he has not.”

—Seneca

You painted a naked woman because you enjoyed looking at her, put a mirror in her hand and you called the painting “Vanity,” thus morally condemning the woman whose nakedness you had depicted for your own pleasure.

It might be true that some people are jealous or envious of you, but if you internalize this belief, you may find it difficult to recognize those with good intentions—those who admire, encourage, and truly want to help you. Holding onto this belief can block you from receiving the best for yourself. It can blur your perception, making it hard to see when something positive, far from jealousy or envy, is happening. Moreover, it blocks the feelings of gratitude that come with it, and therefore, the flow of abundance.

Recognize that jealousy and envy may exist in others toward you, but don’t let it become part of your internal belief system. It will affect you. Your beliefs shape what you see in the world, and if you engage with the idea that others are acting out of jealousy and envy, you’ll only see that and may miss the good you’re already receiving but not fully connecting with—leaving you feeling unsupported. Sometimes, a small shift in perception can make all the difference. ~ @feminiel

There's a trouble however with the human nature that whatever you show them is what they would take you for. Somehow they believe their eyes more than anything else. They fail to see that there's always more to an individual than what he brings to the table. I may talk at length about romance - does that make me a romantic? I may talk at length about God - does that make me His chosen favourite? I find it quite laughable that people usually lack the insight to see past another - their judgements are formed by the apparent, never seeking to dig into the deeper layers. By the amount of what I write about sex, I must most definitely be a gigolo...

Letter to the editor, Chicago Reader, J.P. Ven, May 23, 1991

But, when at least two-thirds of the audience attending were gay men and women (which was obvious if one was out in the lobby at intermission), when everyone of any import involved with the show is gay or at least expressed in the show a very gay sensibility, when the show raged with camp and homoeroticism (no, Chris was not stripping for the female members of the audience) from the first note to the last, then it behooves a reviewer, whether he is straight or gay, to mention these facts. Of course it was “more theater than rock concert.” Of course it was “devoid of . . . false emotion, thrusting hips, and wailing screams.” Of course there was a “luscious, detailed” (and I might add, very witty) program. And of course, Neil and Chris changed costumes dozens of times. They were dead serious about it all and having a wonderful time, too. The show was all the things you mentioned in your review and much more simply because it was gay. You’re not going to see another show much like it anytime soon, either.

When the first man who is supposed to teach you how a woman should be loved abandons you, then you don’t expect much after that. And while you search and are in need of the opposite, in fact in your adulthood you’re attracted to emotionally avoidant type of men because that is your familiar. It’s ironic, but unless you resolve your issues from childhood, you’ll always be in relationships that don’t fulfill your needs.

Women who haven’t felt a father’s love will want to be held and be told they are loved. In a way they want to be “ babied “ . Their inner child still craves what they never had, thus they come across as needy.

We can’t fix dead beat fathers , so it’s our responsibility to fix ourselves by digging in and learning how to form healthy and secure attachments.
