  • Really my favorite quote is ...

    "You are the one who makes your life the way it is; not the other people around you. So don't blame others for your feelings and don't let the thought of what others have said to you bring you down, just move on in life. There are so many great things out there for you to enjoy and see."

    I forget who said that :)

    • Pfft. You wrote that yourself. ;P

      Anyway, it's an oversimplification of individual experiences and I must disagree with it.

      Most of what your write is pretty golden, though! :)

      • Wisdom is about making your life much more simpler; it's just people don't make it that way themselves.

        It is you who makes your life the way it is. Yes, you do need to be cautious of course, it is wise to do so but it is your inner-self who causes your own internal pains and suffering. Don't be around negative people too much but it is great to be their to help them. Love yourself then you'll love others. You need to see the positives in people as much as possible. Life is about compassion and kindness like Dalai Lama says.

        Great example the quote: "love is blind" When you love others you look at their flaws a lot less. Don't just find positives in certain people, find it in every human in existence.

        Wisdom is about keeping biased opinions and stereotyping thoughts out of your head and seeing everyone as human beings; even the negative ones. The negative ones just need help and by pointing them in the right direction the right way (without harm), helps them, you and others around. If you don't end up helping them at least you tried and that is what is joyful.

        Negativity is a waste of time for wise people. "Life with no fear, regrets and worries." It is in the present which is reality and of course in the grey. People who are in the black and white are not in reality. You've got to look to change your own flaws; to improve them patiently and also improve your strengths. :) By seeing both sides of yourself and excepting it, you are more happy and in the grey. Do not dwell on you pasts use them to improve yourself "today", do not fear the future as you can't see it yet look at it to be positive, planning as you go helps. Be proactive. Of course there will be bumps a long your path but you can get back on your own two feet. Mistakes and failures are ways to see how you can improve, it's wise to see it that way. They are opportunities; every single problem is an opportunity and there is more than one solution to solve that problem.

        Ok, I have said quite a bit. Hope it all makes sense to you all.

        • Ooops! Hahaha, I just knew it wasn't a one of those wisdom quotes that people throw around and I assumed you made it up. My bad. Sorry, C.C..

          Miss Cheese, after taking several sociology and psychology classes at uni, I can assure you human matters are far more complex. :)
