All love is unrequited. All of it.
I'm delirious with joy. It proves that if you confront the universe with good intentions in your heart, it will reflect that and reward your intent. Usually. It just doesn't always do it in the way you expect.
I've made a decision and now I must face the consequences.
If a person with a bullet in Dallas can change the world, imagine what a person with an idea could do.
My philosophy: find what it is you want to say, walk in the room, say it, and get the hell out.
Never follow somebody else's path; it doesn't work the same way twice for anyone... the path follows you and rolls up behind you as you walk, forcing the next person to find their own way.
No dictator, no invader, can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
No dictator, no invader, can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever. There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom. Against that power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
On the Internet, inside information is currency, and there will always be counterfeiters among us.
People spend too much time finding other people to blame, too much energy finding excuses for not being what they are capable of being, and not enough energy putting themselves on the line, growing out of the past, and getting on with their lives.
Take care, don't fight, and remember: if you do not choose to lead, you will forever be led by others. Find what scares you, and do it. And you can make a difference, if you choose to do so.
The quality of our thoughts is bordered on all sides by our facility with language.
